Beloved - What would YOU do to protect your children?

Date of Review:  Feb 3, 2002
The Bottom Line: Beloved takes you on a journey, helping you learn about slavery from a completely different perspective... I would recommend this book to everyone!
Review: Beloved by Toni Morrison

Ah, the 25th review on Beloved. Why should you read this review? Because you like me! Um, I?m sure you aren?t buying that one. Well, I?m going to try to give you a different perspective than the other 24 reviews...

Seeking to Understand Morrison's Beloved

Date of Review:  Aug 31, 2000
Review: Beloved , by Toni Morrison, is a hard book to read if you are a parent. The concept behind the plot almost guarantees you will never be able to forget Morrison?s protagonist Sethe, much less her fateful choice.

Typically, I impatiently race...

A Mother's Beloved

Date of Review:  Feb 21, 2001
The Bottom Line: Whether they want to learn something about a slave's life or just want a good story, everyone should read this book.
Review: So many Epinions writers are making lists (favorite albums, favorite movies, gifts they'd like to receive) and I've enjoyed reading them. Lists are fun to make, and of course, it made me think about the ones I'd make, like of my favorite books (if...

Dickinson's Beloved?

Date of Review:  Aug 17, 2000
Review: In the 70's, the multimedia industry formulated an innovative concept in videotape presentations. By superimposing a soundtrack over a film sequence, they came up with a novel approach from which MTV was born. If we follow this train of thought, we...

Tormented Souls

Date of Review:  Aug 8, 2000
Review: Several months ago, I found myself stranded in a small out of the way southern airport with nothing to read. The newsstand did not appear promising. I decided to look out of sheer boredom. The selection was pretty much what I expected consisting of...

DEARLY BELOVED

Date of Review:  Sep 11, 2000
Review: While searchin in our library for something to read, I came across a copy of BELOVED. I knew it is one of Oprah's selections and that she liked it well enough to make it into a movie. I had not seen the movie, being somewhat turned off by the...

Lessing's Beloved?

Date of Review:  Aug 18, 2000
Review: Both Toni Morrison's Beloved and Doris Lessing's The Summer Before The Dark have provided insightful commentaries on social standards from a feminine perspective for the benefit of fans and scholars alike. Yet their viewpoints in the two works being...

I am on my fourth read of this AWESOME, BRILLIANT book

Date of Review:  Jun 6, 2000
Review: I am on my FOURTH, yes FOURTH read of this awesome, brilliant work of art. I first read Beloved in my mid-twenties, and frankly found it to be confusing, murky and nearly impossible to finish.

Around thirty, I tried again, realizing that...

Too Confusing to Enjoy

Date of Review:  Jan 9, 2000
Review: As a former student of English Literature, I have read some very interesting books. Some I have enjoyed, others I have not. "Beloved" by Toni Morrison, is one of those books that I did not enjoy. Toni Morrison is a wonderful author, I have read some...

Beloved; a difficult read.

Date of Review:  Apr 3, 2000
Review: Beloved is a very well written book about a Black woman, Sethe, her child Denver, and the hardships that they overcome. The book's focus surrounds the spirit of Sethe's (the heroine) dead baby Beloved. When Sethe and her living daughter, Denver are...
