    The book I read, which is called “THEIR EYES WERE WATCHING GOD” by Zora Neale Hurston is one of the best books I have ever read.

The book has a timeline of starting at the end and leading back up to it. The story starts with our main character Janie coming back from the Everglades to a town from her past called Eatonville.…

At least not an interesting one to say the most.…
