Negative Positive
Title: ???
Review: I am a fairly sophisticated reader. I read a book a week, and was an English major and have read many of the great classics. But for the life of me I don't have a clue as to what Ms. Morrison is trying to say here. There is no doubt that she is a talented and skilled writer. Her descriptions and some scenes are striking. However, she is all over the map here. There are so many unnecessary characters in this book that the average reader will be completely lost. Who is who and how are they related to one another? After awhile, a reader will just give up. I have read two other of the author's books, but after this one I will not attempt any future ones. I think Toni Morrison is one of our most overrated American authors and has been given literary prizes simply because no one knows what the heck she is saying.
Is the review positive or negative?
