5.0 out of 5 stars
riveting!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Beloved (Hardcover)
I was pulled into the book from the beginning. As in most Toni Morrison books, you must read between the lines,and what those lines show is riveting and mesmirizing. Ms. Morrison's depicition of slavery was honest and soul bearing. She let the audience experience the strength of a mother's love,though it was horrifying. Sethe wanted her children to be free. Free from all the horrors she experienced under someone else's laws. The path she chose was the only way out-as she saw it. But as Paul D says,"Your love is too thick". If the reader can just remember that sentence, then they can understand the meaning of the book- A mother's love, a women's strength, and the cruelty of humanity against humantiy.

Story That Just Will Not End,
By kyle Welte (Alamosa, CO USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Beloved (Hardcover)
This unbelievable novel will leave one wondering and not learning or relizing. I feel that this was a tale that was tried to be made into a bellieveable story. This in the end was entirely unsuccessful in its goal. I feel that the plot went a little to far from the way that the book started. It was greatley writen and had many unsuspecting turns. All at the same time though it changed its manor and type of story write in the middle. I feel as though this story started as a fairly realistic novel and by the end it was a scifi story. This was the only part of this book that I did not enjoy but it is a very large section in my eyes. I want to know what I am getting into when I pick up a novel. This was a giant trick in my eys and with that I ended the book with a bad taste in my mouth. This fictional story is one that should be read with an open mind and with no real understanding for the charictures actions. It unbelieveable what some of these people in the book acted and said. This novel will interest only the readers that have no real goal of walking away with a sencce of point or moral reasoning. ONly read with the same open eyes as one would see a Die Hard movie with.
