Book Reviews of Ragtime: A Novel
Book Review: I truly loved this book.
Summary: 5 Stars
I loved this book-- truly. This book presented the real plight of American culture. It showed how the "color line" is the root of all problems created in America. Coalhouse Walker, Jr. is a character that transcends time and race. Every human wants to be treated as such, no matter their ethnic, religious, or economic background. Mother and Father are typical of their times. Sarah was a caring character and became a victim because of her love. Younger Brother radical and is realistic. I also saw the musical-- after I read the book twice. The sexual scenes lent to the new found freedom of the younger generation during that time. PLEASE READ THIS BOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
