Great review! I’m definitely going to be picking up more Morrison in the future, too. Maybe I’ll start with Solomon!

Maw Books: This book was certainly thought-provoking and “heavy” at times, so I think you have to be in the mood for that kind of read before picking it up.
Trish: Good to hear about The Bluest Eye – I’ve read some mixed reviews on it…
Megan: I know exactly what you mean. Although I’d encourage you to try Morrison again because I know that some of the books I read in H.S. I liked better as an adult when I had more “life experience” under my belt.
Kim: Be warned …there is some ugliness in this book as well. But, the underlying message was good.
Kristen: Let me know what you think after you’ve read it!

Great review! Like you, I was nervous about Morrison. But I loved Bluest Eye and want to read more. I think I’ll start with Song of Solomon!

Thanks for the great review! I just finished The Bluest Eye recently, and it was like having your nose rubbed in the ugliness of the world.
Next time I revisit Toni MOrrison, I will have to give this one a chance! You make it sound like a very good read.

I’ve got to admit that the idea of reading another Toni Morrison book kind of frightens me. I read “Paradise” in high school and appreciated the writing but didn’t understand it at all. It’s a rotten feeling to finish a book and have the feeling that most of a book’s subject matter has gone over your head. But having read your review and the reviews of some others who’ve been reading Morrison lately, maybe I’ll have to face my fears and give her another try now that I’m a bit older and wiser. Excellent review!

I think I have this one at home. Sula and The Bluest Eye are two Morrison books that I’ve read and found pretty accessible. I had a tougher time with Beloved. Great review!

I have several of Morrison’s book on my shelf but like you have been scared to read them. Whenever I think about it I chicken out because I don’t want to read anything “heavy.” Who knows when I’ll get the courage!
