The Bluest Eye is Disturbing and Mesmerizing

Date of Review:  Sep 4, 2000
The Bottom Line: Beautifully written disturbing story. Highly recommend, but not for children or young teens.
Review: Quiet as it's kept, there were no marigolds in the fall of 1941. We thought, at the time, that it was because Pecola was having her father's baby that the marigolds did not grow.

That is the opening sentence of this haunting story. Draws...

The Bluest Eye - if only I hadn't been made the way I was

Date of Review:  Jun 6, 2001
The Bottom Line: It's worth reading if for no other reason than Toni Morrison writes so beautifully.
Review: The Bluest Eye was loaned to me by a good friend. I'd wanted to read it for some time - ever since Oprah had talked about it. The fact that my friend read it and told me how good it was, how it was something everyone could relate to, only encouraged...

Morrison creates poetry with her prose

Date of Review:  Mar 14, 2001
The Bottom Line: Read this book for its poetic rhythm, for the challenges that Morrison puts before her readers.
Review: My husband and I have great fun in art galleries, and only partly because our interests so rarely converge. I?ll yawn my way through the Impressionist section while he heaps scorn on the Eschers that so catch my fancy.

While there are...

Paperback, The Bluest Eye: A Novel
Pecola Breedlove, a young black girl, prays every day for beauty. Mocked by other children for the dark skin, curly hair, and brown eyes that set her apart, she yearns for normalcy, for the blond hair and blue eyes that she believes will allow her to finally fit in.Yet as her dream grows more fervent, her life slowly starts to disintegrate in the face of adversity and strife. A powerful examination of our obsession with beauty and conformity, Toni Morrison's virtuosic first novel asks powerful questions about race, class, and gender with the subtlety and grace that have always characterized her writing.
