However when Coyotito gets sick and the Pearl is found that all changes. What this book is trying to say is that money is not everything in life. And in some cases, it brings bad luck. Money can also bring greed, as in the doctor’s case. Setting: This story …showed first 75 words of 863 total…

…showed last 75 words of 863 total…bat. Yet as i read further into the book, especially towards the end i began to get tired and felt like I was reading the same thing over and over. There was not a very good description of characters, I did not get to really know anybody in the book enough to really understand them much. Overall I would have to say this is a good book but definitely not Pulitzer prize material. Bibliography None
