"Push" by Saphire

I recently read Push by Saphire and really enjoyed it. However my first statement is that this book is rated "M" for Mature! This book is also not for those people who perfer to remain naive and/or unaware of the traumas some children are forced to face.

There was a point while reading this book when I was reminded of The Bluest Eye. Only to find out that in the book a reference is made to The Color Purple, which is also similar to my own comparison.

This book is very good and only 176 pages long. It is written in the language of Precious, the main character and there were sentences I had to read more than once to understand what she was saying.

I highly recommend this book, and I'm hoping that the movie is as good as the book was. It took me three days to read this book, I couldn't put it down. I added it to my books on my desk because I found it relevant to my day job. If you haven't heard of Push but you've heard of the movie "Precious" than you've heard of this story. "Precious" is based on the book Push by Saphire.

I hope you pick it up and read it and I would welcome your review.

Next up, Dear John followed by The Last Song both by Nicholas Sparks. Also both movies this year. I will write reviews as a I finish them.

Until Next Time,

Sam
