Customer Reviews

basically the book is brilliant
ROTHMC is a brilliant book. I am 15 and I have to read it for my GCSEs. However once I did start to read it I found that I really enjoyed it. I think the book makes you realise that racism does still occur in our world. The book is funny yet sad at the same time. Cassie is a brilliant narator and we realise how difficult it must be to grow up in this kind of situation. I would recommend it to anyone. The only problem with the book is that it is a serious issue that it covers and it can be upsetting at the end.

Confusion
I think the person who wrote the review 'why was it written?' doesnt understand the book. It is not encouraging us to share the views that were held towards black people in the 1930s, in fact it is highlighting the injustice and prejedice of those views and so i dont think that it is 'repressive to black people today.' I think that this is the best book to study at GCSE and it is very interesting

An Excellent Lesson in race and Culture
When I was at school, studying for my GCSE's, I was forced to read this book....fortunately the book was an excellent read..and contained a very good message - that we are all the same, no matter what our skin colour and that we should not treat anyone differently because of skin colour. My appraisal goes to the author - well done!
