Madison's book review.

I had seen the movie version first. It may be my favorite movie so far. The book could become the best book I have ever read. Leading through the fourth chapter, I can already feel the pain and excitement of the characters. My favorite character is Minny, a 35 year old colored maid trying to make ends meat, but still holding on to her famous attitude. School and homework have been the only things keeping me from reading. Even during lunch break I cant put this book down. I estimate the book will be fully read in about 3 weeks, maybe less at the rate I'm going.
