It's without a doubt a hard book to read, but I think in the end there's value to it. Has anyone read anything by Sapphire? Push or her newest novel The Kid. I would love to hear your thoughts (you can comment under my review) her books are controversial.

I hated Precious so much (the film) that I have no desire to read something that even resembles that. It was kind of outrageous, but I can see where the author is trying to get a point across.
