The book was pretty good. I had seen the movie "Precious" before getting ahold of the book. The book was pretty consistent with the movie, minus the part of Precious' mother also molesting her, and it went a little futher into the future of Precious life after she found out she had HIV. In the movie, the story ended with her finding out she had HIV. The movie also showed Precious beening reunited with her first child by her father, who has Down Syndrome, where as in the book Mongrol, the child's name, is stated to be in an institution. Overall, the book was good. I did not really feel like it had an ending, and wonder if Sapphire will produce a 2nd book telling the rest of the story.
