I had read The Good Earth long-long back but it stayed with me ever since.As a librarian this was the first book I added to the library.Truly, if you have not read it yet,just don’t wait any longer.

I never had to read this for school, but I read it recently and really enjoyed it. I didn’t appreciate Wang Lung’s treatment of O-Lan either, but all in all I felt sympathy for all the characters. My full review here: http://melydia.zoiks.org/2009/03/787/

I read this for the first time about five years ago and just loved it. I immediately looked for the second book of the trilogy, Sons, but couldn’t find it. I’ve seen it recently, but now need a refresher on The Good Earth!

I read this a long time ago and also can’t remember much except that I engaged in excessive amounts of sobbing at the end!

I read this way too long ago to remember anything except I loved it. Like Kathy, I probably was too young to understand it all.

I read this as a child and don’t remember much about it except that I loved it. I’m sure I didn’t understand all of it. It looks like it deserves a re-read.

This one is near the top of my TBR pile. I don’t think I’ve ever heard a bad word about it. I’m looking forward to it even more thanks to your review.
