Book Reviews of Beloved (Plume Contemporary Fiction)
Book Review: Monumental
Summary: 5 Stars
Only a relatively small collection of books in American literature deserves the word "monumental" - "Moby Dick," "The Sound and the Fury," "Grapes of Wrath," are among those. I feel this visionary, intensely poetic work of art is destined to belong to that category of literature. It will linger in one's memory and "haunt" the reader for a lifetimeBook Review: Original and Fantastic Work!
Summary: 5 Stars
The book did not follow the accepted standards of the literary world and that is what makes it special. It is special because it does not describe the objective world; it describes the subjective world. It makes one appreciate emotions.
The book delves into the characters' minds deeply, giving the reader a sense of intimacy.
Excellent book for ones seeking original and refreshing work.Book Review: Wonderful fantasy mixed with history
Summary: 5 Stars
I read this book three years ago and have recently read it again. Morrison's words are touching and frighening. The story of Sethe's life as a slave, her escape and life there after is very absorbing and disturbing. Although the appearance of Beloved
is quite unbelievable (to me at least), once you
get used to her presence, the book is excellent
and will haunt you for years after.Book Review: Haunting and Unforgettable
Summary: 5 Stars
Once in a blue moon you find a read that penetrates to avisceral level as Toni Morrison's "Beloved" does. Yourheart will never be the same after this hauntingly beautiful book takes up residence in that place for special feelings. This is one of the most poetically written pieces of literature I have ever had the honor to experience. You've got to read this one.Book Review: Wonderfully Powerful
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is very powerful. Once you read it, you will want to read it over and over to understand everything that happened, but you won't be able to. Morrison effectively mimics humans' process of remembering what was once forgotten. In addition, she shows the hardships that African Americans had to deal with and how the traumas of their lives affected them.
