A Lesson Before Dying by Ernest J. Gaines (1997, Paperback)

A Lesson before dying is a motivating, heart touching book! Schools across the nation should have this book in all the English classes! This heart touching novel is about a young innocent black man named Jefferson, which in the late 1940's, was convicted of multiple murders that he did not commit. While Jefferson is in jail a waiting for his time to come, his aunt convinces Grant, the local teacher to educate him.

Grant who doesn't care for Jefferson or anyone else rather than Vivian, his girlfriend, unwillingly accepts his aunt's plea to help Jefferson "become a man". Grant who himself is lost in the world grows closer with Jefferson. They come to understand each other and Grant learns from Jefferson,vise versa. I won't ruin the ending of the book for those who haven't read it yet. This is a great book that will be taught and read for generations to come.

I'm only half way through the book and it was so good that I went online and ordered another copy to be shipped to my brother. I cant' wait to talk to him about this book. This is a classic! I just hope that it's ending is as good as it's beginning.

Very good store! Perfect transaction! fast shipping! Item in very good condition as described. Thank you!

Bought it for my daughter. It was required reading for high school. Book came in new condition with the wrapper still on it. Arrived quickly and the shipping was free.

i'm very impressed with the purchase i made at ebay not only it arrived fast but the book was practically new .

I purchased the book for my daughter's summer reading. I received the book within normal shipping time. The price of the book was very reasonable.

I bought it because it was an option to read as homework over the summer before coming into my english class...

Well I bought the book because I was looking for a movie to watch and I stunpled across the movie Lesson Before Dying. Well I didnt watch the movie but I obviously read the book. The book teaches that of sacrifice of one person to make a bigger group of people and how ultimately it males that one better! Easy read wasn't boring.

The item was like new just how the seller described it. The book came within a week and the process went very well.

I needed the book fast, and I got it! Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It is just how the man said it was in good condition but expensive shipping charge but its okay a good product.

The reason why I got books through ebay is because are cheaper and needed them for school. I am happy with the items I got.

Needed the book for a class, recieved it quickly, and it was in good condition with little writing, just as the description said.

I Had to read it for a Humanities class. Good in that the story is deeper than the racism in the south in the 40s. More about finding yourself, relationships, influence of a woman, education, reality. It's pretty interesting, although it picks up a litlle slow.

I enjoyed reading this book. It was an easy read and I had a hard time putting it down. The book made me think about the past and how we should treat people regardless of social status or culture. I bought this book beacuse it was a story about humanity and that's something we all can use on a daily basis.

Excellent transaction with fast shipping. I would use this seller again in the future. Thanks, great service!

This book is good condition. The story is interesting and a wonderful classic. It's a good length and is easy to read.

I love this book. I have to use this book for college studies. I gotthis book in good condition and the reading is goood. There is nothing to dislike about the writing.

I really appreciate the fact that I can go to half.com and get a book for cheap and it be the same quality as going to my campus bookstore! Thanks so much, it was fast shipping and good quality :)

The book was assighned for us to read for my sophmore collage class. I was alittle unsure about it just because we were forsed to read it but it turned out to be a really great book. It's defintely a book thats hard to put down.

Bought this book for my daughter since she needed it for school. She really enjoyed it and said it was very good. I myself have started reading it and find it very interesting.

I liked the price.This was a used book,I knew this in advance from the description on EBAY . There are lots of markings on it. But I'm satisfied with this purchase.

I BOUGHT IT BECAUSE I NEED IT FOR SCHOOL. THERE WAS A MISUNDERSTADING AND I AM STILL WAITING FOR IT, BUT I BELIEVE IT IS GOING TO BE GOOD.
