Review: i was assigned to read this book for a class called 'voices of protest'. normally, i have a hard time reading books that are assigned to me; often i fail to finish them. however, morrison's masterpiece "beloved" completely wowed me. her poetic...

Confusing? I didn't think so

Date of Review:  Jun 9, 2000
Review: Looking at all the other reflections on Beloved on Epinions, you'd think it was the most difficult book to read since Ulysses. I heartily disagree - I read it three years ago now, and didn't find any problems.
Sethe, an ex-slave, escapes to...

Toni Morrison is Incredible

Date of Review:  Jul 9, 2000
Review: I cannot say enough good things about Toni Morrison. She is a literary genius. "Beloved" was a feast for my imagination. The imagery depicted was no less than breathtaking.

Toni Morrison, as a writer, has a gift for tracing subtle...

"Aspiring Pride and Insolence"(1)

Date of Review:  Mar 28, 2001
The Bottom Line: 'Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death...' A thought provoking, sad read.
Review: 'What she want to go and do that for?'(2) To a parent, Sethe commits the worst possible or imaginable crime, that of infanticide. Yet in Beloved Sethe murders her 'already crawling' daughter in a particularly horrific manner, yet is still a...

Beloved - the difficult books

Date of Review:  May 20, 2000
Review: I found this book difficult to read and quite boring. The book was very difficult to follow and I never knew where one story line ended and another one picked up. I cannot understand why Oprah thinks this is a good book and I have realized that the...

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...

Slavery Made Real

Date of Review:  Mar 26, 2001
The Bottom Line: Definately worth the effort. While it asks for a lot from the reader right from the start, its payoffs come back threefold.
Review: Toni Morisson's novel "Beloved" is a triumph in every sense of the word. Not only is it recognized as one of the first novels to effectively capture the real life struggles of slaves, but it won the 1988 Pulitzer Prize for its literary...

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...

The Choice

Date of Review:  Apr 17, 2001
The Bottom Line: Emily Dickinson once said, "When I read something and it makes me feel like the top of my head has popped off, I know it's greatness." Beloved is that!
Review: Perhaps one of the best fifty books written in the 20th century, Beloved immediately presents itself as a great work with its richness of language.

From the dedication, "Sixty Million and more," which is the figure of the Africans who died...
