Title: Avoid like the plague
Review: I would've never read past page twenty if I wasn't forced to read this for my college English class. For a writer as prestigious as Tony Morrison one would assume that she has mastered the craft of novel writing. But it is clear that Tony Morrison still doesn't understand how to develop a strong plot as well as a clear theme. The story is misguided from the beginning as Morrison jumps back and forth from the town of Ruby and the characters of the convent. There are a million undeveloped characters and a number of confusing family trees. Morrison leaves it up to the reader to follow along with her shaky stream of consciousness, leaving the reader overwhelmed and bored. It is obvious that Morrison has taken advantage of her place as literary master. She has used her popularity and prestige to sell another book. All I can say is that I am glad I checked this book out at the local library instead of wasting money at the university bookstore.
