Sometimes the roll of thunder doesn't hear your cry

Date of Review:  Jun 11, 2002
The Bottom Line: Want to get interested in Civil Rights? There?s no better way than to read Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry.
Review: Sometimes, too, the biggest concepts comes in the smallest and humblest packaging. My clear proof is a worn paperback children s book I picked up for 25 cents, a book that rocked my world after several years of sitting on the shelf unread. You...

You will wish for more of this story!

Date of Review:  Jul 10, 2000
Review: Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry covers so many issues in the lives of children, teens and adults, from learning to stand up for ones beliefs to coming of age lessons. What amazes me is the author's ability to convey these issues succinctly and in a way...

Jump the ditch!

Date of Review:  Apr 3, 2004
The Bottom Line: A great book for the ten to fifteen age group to get to grips with.
Review: Cassie Logan has great belief in her own worth, her Mamma has taught her well and not just because her Mamma is a teacher, but because her Mamma is proud of her brood and pride is an expensive commodity in Mississippi in the 1930 s.

Cassie...

Roll of Thunder? Try a thunderstorm

Date of Review:  Dec 20, 2000
Review: Roll of Thunder Hear my Cry will bring to life many of the problems faced by an African American family in the deep south during the 30's. We see how many families were treated as second class citizens even though they had many of the same desires...

Hear My Cry: This is a Great Book!

Date of Review:  May 10, 2000
Review: Mildred Taylor did a fantastic job with this book. It relates the life of an African American family and the turmoil and trouble they face in Mississippi in 1933. Each character in the Logan family comes to life through Taylor's words. Each person...

New Teachers this Book is Timeless!

Date of Review:  Jul 4, 2001
The Bottom Line: Will appeal to every age not just children. Teachers can use this book to teach about racism and prejudice.
Review: I took a Children's Literature class at the University of Central Florida, and Roll of Thunder Hear my Cry was one of the books I studied in class. This book is considered to be a timeless classic that teachers would do well to use in the classroom...

A powerful story!

Date of Review:  Jun 24, 2000
Review: Mix a powerful story with a daughter of an expert storyteller (who does quite well at storytelling herself!) and you have everything Mildred D. Taylor has written. This volume, easily her best, is riveting, engaging, and frightening. It is as...

A cliffhanger to never be forgotten

Date of Review:  May 29, 2001
The Bottom Line: Get the sequels, it will be worth it. Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry is also good, but I hope I didn't ruin the ending!
Review: Chapters 11 and 12 were like the icing on a cupcake. They wrapped up a good story, just like the creamy, vanilla icing that you would lick off of a cupcake. The reason for this is because of the huge climax involving T.J. The story ends at a spot...

Here's what I say: This is a great book!

Date of Review:  Oct 7, 2000
Review: Wow! Roll of Thunder Hear My Cry has really got me rolling on how great this book is! Taylor does a great job of signifying, rationalizing, and showing how life was for all people in the 1930's. She gets down to the truth in how life was like for...
