An electrifying first novel that shocks by its language, its circumstances, and its brutal honesty, Push recounts a young black street-girl's horrendous and redemptive journey through a Harlem inferno. For Precious Jones, 16 and pregnant with her father's child, miraculous hope appears and the world begins to open up for her when a courageous, determined teacher bullies, cajoles, and inspires her to learn to read, to define her own feelings and set them down in a diary.©1996 Sapphire/Ramona Lofton; (P)2008 Random House Audio African American Fiction Genre Fiction Movie, TV & Video Game Tie-Ins Emotionally Gripping Heartfelt Inspiring Tearjerking High School Basketball

I downloaded this book after seeing a preview of the film and I must say that the first-person narration gives it a richness that draws the listener in. However, I was disappointed that the audiobook was so short and that there wasn't any kind of epilogue.

Gritty...but too short

This book was a refreshing look at the inner mind of a abused young woman finding her own words. I was moved from the beginning to the end and wanted to learn more when it was over. Superb and realistic writing of abuse first hand from the innocents mouth. I wanted to stand up for her and shout no more. I felt rage for the people who misused and misrepresented her. Kudos to the writer.

Exciting and moving

I really enjoyed the book..it was better than the movie. I wish the movie would have shown more of the background. the book for more was powerful. It was a child becoming a woman. It was life for so many young women who was scared to talk n share. So with that being said PUSH...on for your dreams if Precious could do it so could u
