Just great!

Alan Paton writes eloquently about personal struggles, triumphs, and losses. Almost biblical, the lyrical dialogues and descriptions draw you into the reality that is South Africa and don't let you go. Stephen Kumalo becomes a hero and a friend to empathize with and admire. As a college student, I have read this book 5 times and written papers on it for English, History, and Sociology classes. (I got A's on all of them!) I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys great literature and a great story. The 1995 movie with James Earl Jones was superbly done and was the first of the three versions made to be filmed in South Africa. The last scene with Kumalo on the mountaintop was so beautiful and moving it made me cry

Probably my favorite book EVER

After reading "Professor Smith's" review, I have to wonder if we read the same book. The tragedy that the characters experienced is horrific, but the beautiful events that that arose from that tragedy are inspiring! "Cry, the Beloved Country" is amazing, poetic, moving, affecting, and an important book to read.
