| | 1. |  | Beloved
from Vintage
Price: $10.17
Customer Review:
Admittedly, I was lost at times while reading this, read many a chapter and sentence over and over, but by the end, I found the effort more than worth it. I can't pretend to know what it must have been like for women/slaves like Sethe, but if I've now gleaned even an inkling, this was the story that... more info

from Plume
Price: $11.20
Customer Review:
This is my first Toni Morrison novel. At times difficult, at times you have to put the text down and think about what you have just read. A beautifully written story that really hits home and really makes you think. As a white man, reading this book at this time (a time when we are close to electing... more info

The language is inescapably lush and beautiful. The layers of storytelling are breath-taking. The emotional power is undeniable. This novel has humor, pathos, tragedy and hope. A joy from beginning to end.

| | 5. |  | The Bluest Eye (Vintage International)
from Vintage
Price: $10.40
Customer Review:
The Bluest Eye is about race relations and, as such, can never be completely understandable to a non-American such as me. It revolves around a simple and very sad story of rape, incest and the victimisation of a little girl in 1940s America. It is told from the point of view of blacks - this was... more info

| | 6. |  | Jazz
from Vintage
Price: $11.16
Customer Review:
Set primarily in Harlem in 1926, when jazz was bursting forth from the traditions of gospel and blues, this 1992 novel is one of Morrison's most experimental and least accessible. Written from multiple points of view, it uses the patterns of jazz itself for its structure. A series of overarching... more info

from Plume
Price: $10.20
Customer Review:
Seems to be a lot of disagreement on this book. While I can understand a lot of people not liking it (not a straight forward plot driven novel), what I can't understand is how so many people found it "confusing". I'm a handyman, not some english grad student, and I didn't have any problem following... more info

| | 10. |  | Love: A Novel
from Vintage
Price: $10.40
Customer Review:
That's about all I could get from this tedious story. I just could not follow it, could not understand parts of it, particularly how Junior fit into the story. I have an idea, but I could be wrong. Thank goodness Morrison spelled out the relationship between Heed and Christine or I'd still be lost.... more info
