This was a quick read but certainly not an easy read. It really angers me to no end reading what was done to this poor girl. Abuse from so early on from BOTH parents. I am not sure I liked the style in which it was written, the misspellings was at times hard to read. The language is crude to say...
I picked this book up in high school because I'd read it on a booklist somewhere. In any case, I was not expecting it.I read it in one sitting.

Yes, this is a powerful, angry raw book, and yeah, it really needs to be read, but by the end I felt rather numb about it all. Precious was totally unlikeable, unlike the way they’re portraying her in the upcoming movie, and I liked that—I liked the fact that she wasn’t this hard outer coated softie...
3.5 starsPush was difficult to read because of the subject matter and the way it was written. I believe the author wanted us to think like Precious and the words were written how she spoke. She had a horrendous childhood and her parents were disgusting, vile human beings. Instead of crumbling under ...
