Helpful Score: 1

Some reviewers wrote that they had difficulty following and/or understanding the writing in the beginning of the book. It was a challenge for me as well, but not impossible to follow. This was a horrendous story and so, so sad. Yet, as the character begins to break out of her circumstances (leaves her parents' abusive home) and begins to learn for the first time in her life, the story grows more and more powerful. Just as the character of Precious Jones grows more and more confident with herself, it illustrates the tremendous improvement in her learning as indicated by the improvement in the writing of the novel itself. A short and incredible read that has so much power. You can't help but cheer her on. Best book I've read in awhile! D.
