Overview
"There it lay, the great pearl, perfect as the moon." Like his father and grandfather before him, Kino is a poor diver, gathering pearls from the gulf beds that once brought great wealth to the Kings of Spain and now provide Kino, Juana, and their infant son with meager subsistence. Then, on a day like any other, Kino emerges from the sea with a pearl as large as a sea gull's egg, as "perfect as the moon." With the pearl comes hope, the promise of comfort and of security.... A story of classic simplicity, based on a Mexican folk tale, The Pearl explores the secrets of man's nature, the darkest depths of evil, and the luminous possibilities of love.

It was legit
Camille D. - 3 years 5 months agoI think it's good for what it is! Quick read. Read it for school. It's sad. I thought it was alright though. I think it has to be your taste to like it ofc.

Not as great as a story as it is said to be.
Ayesha U. - 6 years 2 months agoI didn’t enjoy this book very much. The backstory is nice and important to remember but the overall story was slightly underwhelming. #SummerReading
