This book makes you laugh, cry, learn and think. It is the most extraordinarily written account of a girl-child and the woman that she grew to be, that I have ever read. The relationships she had with men and women are vivid in their detail and stunning in their impact. The main character, Celie portrays a strength combined with dependency that is remarkably real.
I loved this book! One of the best books I have read from JL. But I always enjoy Malory books, they are a really amazing and funny lot! I really wish there are more series from the Malorys! I truly enjoyed it and I keep on re-reasing it. This book is funny because Nicholas and Reggie always make-up and live peacefully, then they suddenly have another misuderstanding and gets into a heated argument again. But there arguments were really funny!
In this fiction book, there was no main character. However, the character mentioned most often was Melkor, whose name changed to Morgoth. In the beginning of this book, Melkor was the most powerful of the Valar (whom the men of middle earth call gods, but the elves call Creators), and was the most fair hearted. Yet as the book went on, Melkor turned into an evil spirit. He persuaded other Vala (singular for Valar) to join him in his evil schemes. When Feanor made the silmarils, great gem-like objects that shed light and are blue, Melkor stole them and fled to Middle Earth, where he was eventually defeated in the Great Battle during the wars of Beleriand.
