This was a pretty horrible summary, honestly.

[stephenbrown]

Just like the movie, this video only focuses on Janie's journey. It failed to mention race, gender, and (a word in the title, keep in mind) the idea of God. Also, it failed to mention the fact that Tea Cake's real name is Vergible Woods and Logan's first name altogether! Can't wait for Thug Notes to read this book.

too many attempts to be funny & too few facts from the story. try to keep it 100% factual and ppl will like it more

[steflondon]

Pretty sure the author would not get a kick out of this....

[peterweir]

shmoop you should try not being funny in your reviews it is annoying and wastes time.

I typed in "Their Eyes Were Watching God movie summary" and stumbled across this. I was just looking for summaries or a movie trailer to decide if I wanted to even watch it. I enjoyed your short little summary ;)

[stephendhorn]

a decent summary but an insult to the novel

[Shafin_Hossain]

[superboydude]

Am I going to pass this final exam now?

[paulvigliotti]

The girl who is supposed to be Janie here? Yeah, she ain’t black

[ignacio]

Accurate and all but you sure know how to make this as cringey as possible.

[paulvigliotti]

I get why u all r trying to be funny (not that it’s a good thing or will help people understand the text at all) but why r u so bad at it
