Product Description
A courageous teacher inspires Precious Jones to write a diary, and thus to find salvation. The learning process, as vividly revealed as the monstrous aspects of Precious’s daily being, is the heartbeat of a novel that will disturb, stimulate and stay in the mind. Push is a tale that shocks by its language, its circumstances, its brutal honesty–a young black street girl’s horrendous and redemptive journey through a Harlem inferno. Simultaneous hardcover relief from Knopf. 2 cassettes.Amazon.com Review
Claireece Precious Jones endures unimaginable hardships in her young life. Abused by her mother, raped by her father, she grows up poor, mad, illiterate, stout, unloved and generally unnoticed. So what better way to learn about her than through her own, halting dialect. That is the contrivance deployed in the first novel by poet and singer Sapphire. “Sometimes I wish I was not alive,” Precious says. “But I don’t know how to die. Ain’ no plug to pull out. ‘N no matter how terrible I feel my heart don’t stop beating and my eyes open in the morning.” An intense tale of misfortune and the mechanisms to cope with it.
Precious is now a major motion picture based on the novel Push by Sapphire, starring Gabourey ‘Gabby’ Sidibe, Mo’Nique, Paula Patton, Mariah Carey, and Lenny Kravitz. Delight in these images from the film, and click the thumbnails to see larger images.

I have no thought how these “depressing” sinister tales can attract readers, mostly girls, and they somehow say they can tell to the character. I despised, and I mean HATED, the way it was written, it was full of all that negro language which made it hard to know. Yes, I know that may have been to emphasis this girl’s way of speech and upbringing, but it was way overhauled.
The whole tale was just too much for me, you might as well go and buy “Go Question Alice” or “Crosses”.

Hey I’m military and I am stationed in Okinawa and I never received my book. I deploying to Afghanistan for 7 months for Operation Enduring Freedom and I wanted to take the book with me so I can have something to pass the time with and the reviews on the book made it so appealing that I wanted to check it out but I never received the item. I have even waited an extra seven days to see if it was late but I never got it. So this is my reason for giving it one star.

I WONT SIT HERE AND TRY TO EXPLAIN WHY THIS BOOK IS A WASTE OF TIME. THE LIST GOES ON AND ON AND ON. ALL I CAN SAY IS SOME OF THE WORDS ARE WRITTEN SOOOOOOOOOO CRAZY YOU CAN’T EVEN READ THEM. FOR EXAMPLE HRAUUY WOULD BE INTERPRETATED AS HAPPY. THE BOOK WAS BASICALLY POINTLESS SO JUST SAVE URSELF THE TROUBLE AND PICK SOMETHING ELSE.

Sorry to say I had to read this book for my eng101 class. It was a perfect waste of my $11.95 and time. I ‘m writing this review for people who have to buy this book for a course. If you have to buy this book then buy it used and save your money by not buying this book new.

The theme matter of this book is already disturbing enough, why did the leader add insult to injury by writing it so poorly and in ebonics?! It’s a excellent thing I borrowed the book didn’t go out and spend my money on it!
