Title: powerful, yet no Beloved.
Review: i fully enjoyed paradise. yes, it is difficult to get through, and yes she can be vague at times. i think that is the beauty of toni morrison's writing style though. you must be patient and you must be able to sit down, give the book your full attention and read it slowly. to enjoy the full meaning of her books you cannot read them fast. they are slow moving books that need patience. it is also definately not a writing style that all appriciate or enjoy. i would not recommend this book to a person who hasn't read a book in awhile or is not used to reading a modernist or postmodernist style of writing. without being used to non-linear plot lines, i cannot imagine being able to follow paradise. yet, if you can get through it, and appriciate it, it is definately worth it. toni morrison is one of the most gifted writers today and every book i read of hers is a different, rich, amazing joy. to all who haven't read beloved, which thus far, is my personal favorite.
