The book is even better than the movie (though the movie was pretty amazing, so that’s saying a lot), and provides a better look into the feelings Celie had and the things she went through, as a great bulk of the story is told through her letters. You already know how the story ends (the movie has been played on television over and over), but I think we can all agree that it’s a classic in all of literature, not just African-American literature.
