Beloved

Toni Morrison

Review By: Sasha

This book starts off with baby suggs being dead and the baby (not suggs) being dead. Then Paul D comes and gets rid of the ghost. So, It's a wierd book. The author uses a ton of high level words which are fine in moderation but she really packs them in there. The book is a story of an ex slave who tried to kill her children and killed one of them because she didnt want them to become slaves.

I have to say that it is a good book because it is very well written. The beginning is very confusing but once you get used to the writing style, it makes more sense. But personally speaking, I don't agree with the sticker on the front of the book saying that it's the "best piece of fistion written in the last 25 years." It's very odd and whereas the ghost makes the story a story, it did not seem like a book that would be supernatural and the way it was presented seemed forced and it was just off.

I would say that if you had to read it, it's not a big deal and it's a good book but if you dont have to read it, than there are other interesting books out there to read.
