Book Reviews of the Beloved (Plume Contemporary Fiction)
Customer Review: Shockingly overrated.
Summary: 1 Stars
Beloved has been garnering accolades from so many critics - this reader has only one question : why? There is nothing exceptional about Beloved. It is pretentious, self-righteous, and sanctimonious. The characters are amazingly one-dimensional, and the self-congratulatory structure makes it almost painfully difficult to read. From a thematic point of view, it explores almost nothing new and lacks originality. Overall, an irritating novel which doesn't deserve a single measure of the superfluous praise it has received.
