The Pearl
Author: John Steinbeck
Reviewed by: Griffin H.
This captivating story about a pearl diving family that
lives in Mexico involves lots of conflict, death, and a very large pearl. This
book is amazingly well written and thought out. I definitely recommend this
book as a short story to read if you have three or four hours to kill.
The book is about how a man heavily in debt finds a pearl
the size of an egg. Lots of conflict and violence ensue after the find,
including burning down houses, people tracking him and his family, and a great
escape to the mountains.
I think this is a good book for those in 4th
grade and higher, due to an abundance of violence throughout the book. But it
is an amazing story and very action packed for a mere ninety pages.
I really loved the book. The ability to keep you on the edge
of your seat, the wide vocabulary, and multiple elements used in the story to
create a natural image in your head was great. It makes you feel like you were
actually in the book, with the action happening around you! I loved this book,
and upon reading it, I believe you will too.
