Negative Positive
Title: Why the hype?
Review: After all the hype surrounding this novel, I was excited to read it for a college English class. However, after finishing the novel I am sorry I ever opened it. The story is intriguing but Morrison's writing is atrocious. The book is 275 pages long but any competent author could have written it in less than 175. At times her writing takes the author into a stream of consciousness that leads nowhere but to infinite sentence fragments, haziness as to who is speaking, and a headache. When speaking about African American writers, Hurston is worlds above Morrison.
