Product Description:
Staring unflinchingly into the abyss of slavery, this spellbinding novel transforms history into a story as powerful as Exodus and as intimate as a lullaby. Sethe, its protagonist, was born a slave and escaped to Ohio, but eighteen years later she is still not free. She has too many memories of Sweet Home, the beautiful farm where so many hideous things happened. And Sethe’s new home is haunted by the ghost of her baby, who died nameless and whose tombstone is engraved with a single word: Beloved. Filled with bitter poetry and suspense as taut as a rope, Beloved is a towering achievement.

In the award-winning novel by Toni Morrison, BELOVED was one of the many books that I enjoyed reading with a heart-warming passion. It lead me by the hands through the struggling story of Sethe, a runaway slave, trying to let go of her past. As her and her family move to a farm in a house called #124, Sethe realizes that she hasn't left all the torment she has been haunted by behind. She's lost so many along her life, that she's not even sure she can survive on her own, so she leans on Paul D. to ... Read More

This is a FIVE STAR book. It's fantastic... but it's beyond that. It's the greatest American novel since Huck Finn. No kidding. It's an American Classic. I can't believe there are people that would give this less than FOUR or FIVE stars. It's obvious that they didn't read or understand the book on any level.
This is one of the greatest books I've ever read. It will change you and open your mind. It's absolutely haunting and beautiful. If you're looking for brilliance give this book your ... Read More

Toni's Morrison's Beloved is a hard, frustrating, and emotionally draining piece of literary art. Saying this, her prose is written like something I've never read. She throws you in the middle of the narrative and does not tell you why her characters are saying or acting like they are. It is a finely written detective story that is heartbreaking. Everyone needs to read this Nobel Prize novel. If you believe yourself to know about slavery and how slaves "survived" on plantations and farms, Morrison will ... Read More

Well I'd like to start off by saying that the prose in this novel is absolutely stunning. Morrison writes with beautiful and poetic language. That aside, I struggled through this book despite the magnificent writing. Firstly, I just want to note that DO NOT ATTEMPT to read this book if you have never read the Bible. Literally every other page is a literary picture of a Bibical image; whether it be the Four Horsemen, Snakes, Sword and Shield, or the Flood. This imagery was very vivid but it becomes ... Read More

Having read the book as one of many for my American Literature studies, it left me absolutely confused and caught in the cobwebs of a shadowy, almost unfathomable plot. It simply made NO SENSE for me at all. How much ability of clairvoyance and anticipation does Morrison expect? How much can an author expect a reader at all? More, than an intermediate reader like me can take, I'd like to state.

Of course, as a Pulitzer winning book, it must have been a feast for critics, but it was an ... Read More
