IsPublicPerformanceAllowed False languages I read the version with Toni Morrison's Afterword in it, and that also provided quite a bit of insight into the novel. Morrison's books belong on a Banned Book List! " one of the most sad books I have ever read. " heartbreaking depiction of the pressure to be "beautiful" Its a profound book and one of my favorites. I finished it this year and I realized a lot of what Morrison was writing about, I and many other black little girls go through in some way in our adolescent years. " I started reading this book in high school but it was hard to grasp it fully. Toni Morrison's descriptions of suffering, shame, cruelty, alienation, loneliness, and longing are incredibly palpable and poignant. " I don't know the last time a book made me cry.
Anything by Toni Morrison is pure perfection to mine eyes. " Been reading this book for the past few years, keep having to start over and read from the beginning. " Typically, I am not a Toni Morrison fan, but I thought this was a well written book(as all her books are) and it was very powerful " - Kathidfsmc, it's so beautifully written and of course I loved it! " - Tiara, " it was a great book with a meaning " - Atiya, I'm sure I would have enjoyed it more if it wasn't forced upon me. I couldn't exactly relate to the character. " This was part of my summer reading list. It tells the tale of a young black girl who wishes, hopes and prays that her eyes will become blue. " Very well written but very disturbing to read since the subject concerns incest, rape, insanity, and prejudice. I believe my copy was part of a set and there is no ISBN number. but - very good and very historically true. about a mother who's a maid for a rich family and has to mother the other child more than her own. Doing a literary analysis on it currently for my final paper.
Such a dark book to read but definitely makes you think about your surroundings. " This book presents real life issues and feelings. " A very powerful look at some difficult topics: racism, abuse, self-hatred, society's perception of beauty and ugliness, etc. I understood it in my 20's and I appreciate it in my 30's!!! " - Elle, " Absolutely the best piece of literature I have ever read. It doesn't make me feel good! " - MeLita, But the story is just so desperate! I always read or listen to book at least twice but this is one of the book that I won't listen to for the 2nd time. " Beautifully written, but more than disturbing. It is not an easy read, but definitely worth it. She suffers from racial discrimination and extreme abuse by her family. " An interesting book about the devastating challenges of Pecola Breedlove, a young black girl growing up in 1940's Ohio who yearns to have "the bluest eyes". The story was amazing and had a great theme. Toni Morrison is an extremely talented author and I loved her writing style. " I had to read this book for school, and I'm so glad we did. The story of this girl's life is so tragic, but Toni was able to describe all those who played a part in her life's struggle in such a humane eloquent manner. " Was tempted to flip back the pages to the beginning to read it again. She is definitely the best writer of the 20th century.
Her power of description and evocation of pain are like no other writer I've ever read. In fact many of the themes were so familiar that I kept thinking "have I read this before?" But despite its flaws there are moments where you just sit back and think, God DAMN that woman can write. It's also interesting because you see characters and themes from the other books make an appearance in this one - Pilate from Song of Solomon, swinging someone around and killing them from Sula. It's definitely clear that this is her first novel - not perfectly crafted and coherent like her other books. I've read almost everything else Toni Morrison has written but for some reason never read this one. " I picked this up out of my bookshelf because I had nothing to read. " Not only was the story interesting but it was also complex.
