I really enjoyed this book. Hurston has such a beautiful writing style, and her use of imagery draws you in and captures you from cover to cover. The beginning of this book was a bit boring and slow, but as I read it more and more I found myself become invested in the book more. I LOVED the ending, which is quite sad but at the same time, I feel like it fit. The characters were beautifully written, and Hurston's portrayal of African American culture and dialogue was amazing. I thoroughly enjoyed reading about Janie and her independence and how she was always yearning to find true love and to reach her dreams of true happiness.
