Jason Furman's Reviews > Their Eyes Were Watching God

I started this twice before but always got stuck on not wanting to plow through the dialectic which I just did not feel like getting through. But with both of my high school age children having just read it for school I gave it a third time and found myself increasingly fluent in reading it as I went through ad found it variously moving, heartbreaking, entertaining, and ultimately was very glad I read it--plus it turned out to be a reasonably fast read once I got started.
