Re: The Good Earth
I liked it a lot. Interesting, quick read. I love historical fiction & other cultures.
An old fashioned rags to riches story. Couldn't be too bad - the book won a Pulitzer & the movie won an Academy Award.

Re: The Good Earth
I read it ages ago and forgot a lot of it, but remember thinking it was a good book and I liked it.
The thing that stayed with me most was the part where the wife gives birth in the fields and then goes back to work  I think it was in this book....

Re: The Good Earth
I remember having to read it in Honors English in High School and barely getting through it (I think I read the Monarch Notes)
Then, in college, I had to read it for an anthropology class and absolutely loved it! Look what a couple of years did!

I remember having to read it in middle school. I remember liking it, but it was so long ago I don't remember much about it.

Re: The Good Earth
So I am in the middle of it and I have to say I went into reading it with an "I don't want to" mentality...but it is actually quite good

I read it in HS and didn't like it but think if I picked it up again, I would feel differently. Glad you are enjoying it!
