A Lesson Before Dying

I have to start reading this next week for school and I was wondering if anyone's read this and what they thought.

 

Who wrote it?
It sounds familiar...

 

my brother read it, and he said it was ok. But he also said it was hard to understand sometimes because it was written "Cajun" (or something like that) in some parts so you had to sound it out.

 

It was written by Ernest J. Gaines.

 

I loved it. It's a little slow reading, but it's worth it in the end.

 

i read it for school a year or 2 ago. Its alright, not the greatest book, but definately worth reading. Its about a guy thats on death row, and all the lives he has affected

 

i read it and i thought it was a good book. i really liked the over-all lesson.
