Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry: Recommendation

The book that I read for the months of September and October is called Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry by Mildred D. Taylor. Honestly, I have to say that I have enjoyed reading Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry. It shows people of all ages how life used to be. It was part of our history. Mildred D. Taylor wrote in a way that made me want to keep reading to see what happens next. It's definitely not of those books that you hate reading. It's full of adventure and humor, buts it's also serious. It was written in a way that was easy to understand. You can experience and picture in your mind exactly what happens in the book. I would recommend this book to anyone that likes to read historical fiction. Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry was written about experiences that Mildred's father went through. I think that's pretty cool. It's nice to have a book written about you and your childhood. It's there for all to read and enjoy and that way you won't forget about it.

This book is pretty humorous in some parts. They use a lot of slang when they talk, so its a little different than what I'm used to reading. I know that the sequels to this book exist, so I think that I will read them also. If this book was good, I have no doubt that the next one will be good too.

I would recommend Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry to anyone that enjoys reading books about adventure. I would recommend this book because the Logan kids get into a lot of trouble but they always manage to overcome the obstacles. I would also recommend this book to anyone that is interested in racial issues and what other people that went through it thought about it. You can read about how they felt and hear about the experiences that have affected their lives the most. This book has a great story plot. Everyone of all ages should read this book.

  2. I think that you did a good job of showing people why you would reccomend the book, but I agree with Ms. Clear. You could have used some examples.
