The Color Purple

"The Color Purple" is an amazing story. Celie is a young black girl growing up in America. Her father is a cruel man who is constantly abusing her. She is forced to marry a mean man. Her life is a miserable mess for several years until she meets Shug Avery. Shug is beautiful and talented. Celie's life keeps getting better. There is one thing missing from her though, her sister Nettie. When Celie married she was no longer able to see her beloved sister. I loved reading this book. I give it 9/10. My favourite character was Shug Avery. At first Shug came across as mean, rude and ignorant. Once Shug realised that Celie had done so much for her she began being nice. She was a very unusual character. She wasn't afraid to stick up for herself and others. When Shug loved someone she really did love them. She was very expressive and spoke with meaning.
