The twelve tribes of Hattie's. I love the book, sometimes the characters were a little sad, but real.

They owe us money. I have both the kindle and iPad. There are quite a few pages missing. One for every four pages. I'm going to continue on my kindle. At least it's accurate.

Twelve tribes of Hattie. This book made me stop, go back and finish reading at a much slower pa e because I did not want it to end. Outstanding book. From the south to north migration of Black people to the 1980's when we really started dealing with mental illness, this book takes you on a slow ride through the lives of a family that is disconnected yet tied together. Is a mother's love about hugs and misses or food on the table and a roof over your head?

Blah.. Not impressed. I tried with this book. Author is from my home town of Brooklyn NY. I wanted to like it, really i did. Although not a total fail, this novel did not move me. For all the praise Oprah gave it I thought the story would stay with me, characters memorable. I got none of the above. I couldn't even keep track of all of Hattie's kids. While smartly written and creative, where's the basic structure... Plot, climax and most importantly conclusion . It annoyed me. I get the moral of the story... Blah, blah..Hattie ruined her kids life by not showing them enough love... Blah!! Hattie was angry about her disappointments...blah.. Not impressed.

The Twelve Tribes of Hattie. Excellent book! I couldn't put it down. You felt like you knew the characters and I really wanted to learn more about them..... I highly recommend this book!

TASTY -all consuming. From the first chapter, be prepared to taste every word. The emotions depicted in each chapter consume you...I cried, laughed, truly felt the description so powerfully, the best sense I can apply to this novel is tasty...I tasted. I touched. I smelled. I felt every single word. Thank you Ms. Mathis.

So well written. Wow!! Definitely leaves thinking when you've finished reading. I believe to fully enjoy a book of this nature you must be able to relate to it personally. It doesn't take us out of this world and into another. It takes us into our own family trees. A deep look in...

Really enjoyed this book. The characters really stayed with me. How the mothers's unhappiness affected the outcome of her children's lives was very telling!

Amazing!!. Great characters, loved the various stories and how they tied together. The best I have read in quite a long time. Loved this amazing book!

Engulfed from the beginning. Great read!!!

Truth in its rawest form!. Twelve Tribes of Hattie speaks your most inner thoughts out loud.

Twelve tribes of Hattie. This book is one that reaches into your soul .

Fun quick read. I enjoyed it. I connected with Hattie and her struggling in raising 11 kids.

Great read. Great book !

Great read. I really enjoyed this book! Love the author's "voice" - I found the honesty and authenticity of the characters engrossing. I was smitten from the first page - when we witness Hattie's greatest loss, which impacts who she is and how she loves for the rest of her life. I was sorry to see it end, and it in fact ended much to abruptly for me, leaving me asking, but what happened to... as it's difficult not to want the rest of the story. It seems, incomplete somehow, in that we just don't know.

Meh. For me, it was not a great read, just an okay read. I feel this way not because of the authors writing, she is good. For me it was just an okay read but nothing more than that...meh. My soul did not awaken, I wasn't riveted, and for me, it wasn't a cant put down page turner. Just a glimpse into the lives of Hatties grown children. It may have been better if the characters were presented in a way that made me care about them, but the development wasn't there to create that feeling.

Powerful. Is book was very powerful. I felt like the title could have been the twelve tribes of Daisy which was my grandmother's name. It really made me think about my own family dynamics and life's effect on those dynamics. A great read!

Simply Breathtaking. This is a must read! It is definitely a page turner you will feel a sense of awakening in soul.

Unreadable with highlights. It is impossible to turn off the highlighting feature in the Apple Book version. I could not make it past page 1.

Idk. I don't know what to say about the book. I thought it would have been a great novel to read. However, I found the chapters long and drawn out and complete. Each child had a chapter except Ruthie and Ella. Whatever happen to Floyd? What drove Cassie to her mental illness? And Alice and Billy. I guess I cant understand lofty writing. Oh btw I totally skipped the Franklin chapter as well as some pages in the chapters.

Disappointed. I really wanted to love this book. I tried reading it twice over the span of two years and I never got further than the chapter on "Six". The chapters were SO LONG and disjointed. I didn't get the feeling that it would all somehow come together in the end. Maybe I'll try a third time when I'm have absolutely nothing else to read.

The Twelve Tribes of Hattie. The chapters of this book were excellent when it came to characterizing Hattie's children and how the perception of their mother Hattie and their father August's relationship effected their lives as children to adulthood. I wish the stories could have been retold a second time for each child such as a beginning and an ending. A second book should revisit part 2 of each tribe of Hattie. I would love to hear more of Hattie's children and Sala.

12 Tribes of Hattie. I read all of the hipe form Oprah but was totally disappointed and sorry that I purchased it. The author was not able to give the depth needed to this book and the chapters never connected for me.

Great story. This is one of the best I have read in a while. Very interesting.

Book fiend. I just can't seem to learn my lesson about these Oprah book recommendations. They are usually so hyped up and then turn out to be disappointing. I also don't care to read about homosexual relations which this book has. I wish I had known before spending my good money on it. Total waste of time and money.

The Twelve tribes of Hattie. Good story but even better writing. The descriptive words and phrases are some of the best I have ever read. You really feel like you are experiencing every detail of what is going on.

Deep. This author is gifted. You know these people. I thought about them often. I still do. Great look into different types of minds.

Amazing!. Thank you Ms. Mathis! Thank you Oprah for yet another great recommendation to a powerful and entertaining book! Once you start this book, you will not be able to put it down. The main character, Hattie, is developed through flashbacks and the stories of her 11 kids and granddaughter. Quite an interesting way to lay out a book and develop characters! I feel like I've learned a bit about why people develop and act the way they do.

Disappointed. Slow, sad and the characters were not realistic.
