My Favorite of the Three

My favorite novel, out of the three that we had, would have to be Their Eyes Were Watching God. This is my favorite for many reasons. Compared to the other two books, I feel like to me, it was the most relateable. That may very well be because the author was a woman and so was the main character. I really liked this book because it was realistic, but at the same time, it was a great story. Janie overcame so much throughout her life and even though it didn't end exactly the way she had planned, she was finally content with herself and with her life when it was all over. I also liked this book because I felt like the author was way more compassionate. For example, in The Grapes of Wrath, it feels like Steinbeck just tells us what the characters do, and barely tell us anything on how they really feel. But in Their Eyes Were Watching God, she gives you a glimpse of what the character is thinking and really feeling. By doing this, it makes you relate to the characters more, because a lot of what they feel, we have felt before at least once in our lives. Also, I read some stuff about the author, and she just seems like an overall nice person. The other two authors may have been nice too, but I really did enjoy reading this book and I would recommend to anyone.
