Fantastic book - the characters leap off the page! The tale of Celie's miserable life with Mister, her love for her sister, Nettie, and her infatuation with Mister's lover, Shug Avery weave into each other and develop into a masterpiece by the end of the book. Be warned, however, that the book delves much deeper into the relationship between Celie and Shug than the movie does - there is a rather graphic scene in the book that was not included in the movie, for obvious reasons.

One of the most incredible books I've EVER read. A true classic: funny, poignant, completely unforgettable.

Loved this book. Hate to give it up, but have to make room for all my new books. You just cheer for Celie all through it.

This is literally my favorite book ever. It's so emotionally touching and well written. I will always recommend it.
What an awesome book! A slice of reality but with a large dose of HOPE. A wonderful read that you won't be able to put down. You'll want to see the movie (Oprah stars in it) after you read the book.
I loved this book. It was so much better than the movie. I believe most books are better than the movies. A story of an abused African American woman back in 20's 30's southern America. She is brave , ugly, & gonna be somebody someday. Heartbreaking & funny, this is a very good book,.
