I ordered this book three times and according to the picture on this website I never got this book. I received three of the same book which looks nothing like this one so I'm not convinced that my son got the right book for school! this is very disappointing.

The Color Purple is about a young, shy, balck woman named Celie. At the beginning of the novel she is has no self confidence but at the end she has loads. With the help of other characters in the novel, Celie becomes more aware of her feelings towards other people. I thought this was a very enjoyable book to read and i'm sure there will not be one person who has read this book and didn't enjoy it.

"The Color Purple" is a film that tugs at your heart strings. Extremely emotional, the film received 11 Academy Awards, including one for Best Picture of 1985, and is widely considered the best film to document African/American issues. Taking place in the South, "The Color Purple" features the character of Celie, played brilliantly by Whoopie Goldberg in her screen debut, a woman being battered by her husband, the norm for black woman in the poor deep U.S. south in the early 1900's. Two woman eventually become close friends with Celie, giving her strength and power to overcome her abusive husband and to get on with her life. One of those friends is played by Oprah Winfrey (in an Osacr nominated performance) who plays Sophie. The role was actually offered to Tina Turner who turned down director Steven Spielberg's offer citing, "I already lived that life". The movie has an outstanding supporting cast including Danny Glover, Margaret Avery, and Adolph Caesar. Interviews with the cast are included with the DVD and much more. A perfect film that will remain in your memory forever.
