@Cation_bibliophile No, some people just have a hard time sitting down to read For example, I love wings of fire, my facorite series of books, but I struggle to sit and read it, i have a hard time doing it
(listen to this on 1.25x to go faster) Anyways, I actually really love this book. Yes, it can be a bit too descriptive when describing scenes or landscapes, but the inferences you have to make to understand the story makes the book so fun to read. I don’t find it boring, but something exhilarating! This could be a quick read if you were dedicated, probably about a 2 hour read. I don’t know how people find this THAT boring. Kino is fighting people every 2 chapters. Although, the Doctor was pretty useless. All he did was provide a plot honestly. He was never heard from again after chapter 4 I believe..
My English teacher would have killed me if I didn't get this done thanks He said it would be fun and interesting to read I literally had to listen to this twice because I fell asleep while listening That's 3 hours I could have done something interesting with gone forever
ehh it was ok by school standards. i had some good debates and stuff over it, got to shout at somebody for saying Kino was wrong about selling the pearl
Thank god that you posted this because I had to read this book for a class and I hate reading but love audio books but the audio book costed almost $20 and I a broke high school kid could not afford that so thank god you posted this you are a true blessing
Thank god you posted this! I had to read the book for a class, and because I hate reading but love audio books, and because the audiobook normally costs nearly $20, I could not afford to waste the energy or money to read the book. It is a true blessing you have posted this video!
Holy crap, I'M FINALLY DONE!!! 2 weeks of homework finally finished. Thank you soo much for making these videos to help me and so many other people with our homework. I probably couldn't have done it with out this video. Also I HIGHLY recommend setting the playback speed to 1.25 or 1.5. It boosted my efficiency so much.
Thank you so much for posting these videos! They were super helpful to me especially because I can understand and engage in stories more when they are read to me. These videos made “The Pearl” much more interesting! Thanks again!
Thank you so much! I have read the book but always have a hard time understanding each detail, but when I can follow along it gives me such an easier time! I love your channel and appreciate your kindness!
@@eunyou03 No, The people who said it was boring were just focused on their assignments. They were just listening without thinking about the book through their own eyes. This is a very good book with a very powerful message, and if they can't see that it's okay.
I usually listen to the audiobook and follow along in my book. And at first I absolutely hated this book, but as I was reading I couldn’t put it down. I am currently sitting in tears.
IM DONE! It was a good journey, reading the comments while listening to the book. Thank you so much for this, I definitely wouldn't read this. I hate reading unless its fanfic 😀
The book wasn't the most interesting, but I actually really liked all of the songs and the messages and the ending so good book when you finally finish but while you're reading it it's literally so boring
Life hack...turn it to 2x speed and either listen or read along...i find reading g along helpful cause hearing the words I could actually follow along while it was fast
Probably they don't like reading itself, or this story was not their taste, or they are just school kids who still don't have the maturity to understand the deepness of this story. I think this book was great, no wonder Steinbeck won Nobel Prize. He has such amazing skill of describing seneries, metaphor, everything! It was so breath taking. Juana is my favorite character.
I’m reading this for school, I put this off till the last day so it would stay fresh in my brain, but all these other guys are making such a big deal out of it. It was a good book, I’m just not able to read it without the audio or else I’ll get lost in thought and end up starring at the words instead of taking them in a thinking lol
this book imo was really badly written. I don't really like the fact that the climax of the story was literally in the second to last chapter. Everything before the climax was pointless information that had to significance to anything except for the introduction of the pearl itself.
What a depressing ending, and I blame the author. Couldn't Steinbeck have allowed Kino to have at least some good fortune from the pearl? Or at least that Kino and his family would survive? Sheesh.
All the comments seem to be complaining that this book is boring, or a chore to read. Shame, when I read the last word “disappeared.” I looked to the comment section to share the beauty of this book and excitement it had left me, but I was disappointed to read , “School sucks.” “I nearly fell asleep.” And yes, I know I sound like a karen but I don’t care, I hecking love this book
IM DONE! My three hour journey is over! Thank god, ill be ready for my test in 9 hours!

You like Harry Potter like me!! OMG 😁
