A Lesson Before Dying. Great story, really loved the different characters.

Great book. Tells a beautiful story of how the souths culture was

Riveting, eye-opening, powerful. The ending of this book took my breath away. I recommend it to anyone who wants to have a good, hard look at how race has played (still plays) a role in the U.S. justice & educational systems.

Great book!. I read this book for a Summer Reading assignment. Let me just tell u. This book is worth it.

Slayed. Slayed

Interesting Read. I enjoyed this story. It was an interesting page turner.

Amazing. Highly recommend! I had to read this book for school and I REALLY enjoyed it.

Book. The book is very hard I have to read it for school it's a little boring but it gets better

A Must Read!. It's one of those books that will challenge your views, beliefs and ideals...in a good way. It's one of those books that you will revisit one day and bring back memories of years past. Read it and you'll know.

The best. I've read six books throughout the summer and this was by far the bet one. Great way to finish my summer reading

A Lesson Before Dying. I would recommend this book to anyone.. It truly opened my eyes to life. I have learned a great deal from this book. It's one of those books that when brought up in a conversation your only reply is "Ill never forget it". Thank you Mr.Gaines !

An American classic. More powerful and important than Uncle Toms Cabin. The very greatest of Black American literature.
