The beginning of the book was good because of the trial with TJ. After the end of the trial the book is very boring until Cousin Bud comes. When Suzella comes it gets exciting until she leaves. Stacey leaves and the children sit around dumbfounded,"Where could he be??" Their parents are the only proactive ones in the this sitution send telgrams, letters and Papa looks for Stacey by going to the sugar cane plantations. The story ends with no definate ending and making you annoyed. I think this book is better than Roll of Thunder Here my Cry,but most of the book it is SO BORING!!!!!!!!!!! It is so boring you will not want to keep reading it.
WARNING: DO NOT READ THIS BOOK!!!!

I read "Roll of Thunder, Hear my Cry" as a child growing up in 70's suburbia. I loved the book and grew fond of the Logan family. It was only last year when I realized there were sequels.
As a homeschooling parent I opted to read "Roll of Thunder, Hear my Cry" to my 10 year old son this year. I purchased "Let the Circle be Unbroken" with the possibility of reading it to my son this year as well. This book is equally well-written, however the themes in this books are more mature than the previous one. Therefore, I would not just hand this book to a younger child. There is a difference in the level of innocence, but I believe that it added value and reality to the story. The author allows Cassie to grow up. I believe this book would be an invaluable resource for any high school level student. There are many talking points about injustice that can be taken from this book. I do plan to read this with my son, but we will wait a few years.

In "Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry", Mrs. Taylour wrote matter-of-factly, without bitterness, and left the story 'innocent' yet revealing. Now, in this sequel, bitterness is evident in many chapters. It isn't about hating whites, but it does harangue the reader about the past, as if somehow they are responsible and as if it were still being done. The point of the story is made rather ineffectively, then, and the reader is left reading without emotion.

In Let the Circle Be Unbroken, Cassie (the main character) changes from a child that knows little about segregation to a person that understands what life really is. Cassie goes through many conflicts that involve her or her family friends. Her very first conflict was T.J. T.J. was a close friend but he has been accused of killing and stealing so the town wants him hanged. Second, Cassie meets her cousin, Suzella. Suzella thinks that she is white when she is both grey and white. Then last of all Cassie's friend, Mrs. Lee Annie wants to vote. Her decision cost her greatly. Among all of this, Stacey (Cassie's brother) runs away to find more money because the family had limited money. Mildred D. Taylour used interesting and powerful words and strong dialect to capture my attention. This is a great novel for any one that understands segregation.

This book was very exciting because it had big events in each chapter, like when the kid see their uncle for the very first time. Most of the chapters end with a cliffhanger. For example at the end of chapter six, the Logan family kids find out that their uncle is married to a white woman. One of the surprises that held my interest was when Mr. Morrison came and stayed wit the Logans to help them on the farm. I liked the style of writing because they used the language used in the book sounds like it would have at that time. When the characters talk, they use like yes'm, ain't, walkin and reckon. The plot of this story was believable. I would recommend this book to any one who likes to read about history.
