4.0 out of 5 stars
excellent,
By A Customer
This review is from: Love (Paperback)
i found this a good read in that the language was evocative and thoughtful, the story has many layers and is therefore engaging (you have to think about what you are reading) and the characters are well drawn and alive! i shall read this book again some time in the future and for me this is the key factor in determining whether a book is worth it or not

Fat Stars,
This review is from: Love (Paperback)
The incredible aspect of Toni Morrison's writings is hat she is able to adress such important themes without being preachy. This story is essentialy about the relationship of two women, which is a prevalent situation throughout her earlier works of Sula and Beloved. As always in Morrison's novels, trouble is brooding and the play's finale certainly pays out. However, regardless of the scenes of action, the real beauty of this play is the inner monologues, beautifully crafted and hauntingly evocative of an age we can only live through the book's discourse. Toni Morison is a wonderful writer who has an innate skill of using the right word for the right situation, and her imagery is contagious. I found myself saying 'fat stars'from Beloved, a number of times. This is a well executed novel of a lyrical grandeur unreached by many other American writers that adress the same themes of race and sex. The only pitfall find of Morrison's work, is her narration that suddenly changes from one character to another without explanation. This often means that one has to read back a few lines to get the thread of the transition, as not to be confused over the following chapter's journey.

Unfinished?,
By
This review is from: Love (Paperback)
Although I enjoyed this book I somehow felt it was not complete. At around two hundred pages I felt that the different sections within the book would have been more interesting if they were more detailed therefore longer? I somehow felt I was not getting the full story! I finished it so quickly and was somewhat surprised when it ended!
