Negative Positive
Title: disappointing and strange
Review: I expected Beloved to be a stunning, riveting semi-historical fiction about slavery and its aftermath, but it was disappointing in that respect-I don't even consider it a satisfying story because the plot was too wierd and everything just seemed so slapped together. I am of the opinion that ghosts should not be put into a story unless the author can do a superb, subtle job of writing them in, such as in Wuthering Heights-or else the story is simply ridiculous. I have a feeling Oprah is inclined to 5-star and promote any book that presents an emotional tie with slavery no matter what kind of slop it is, so I tend not to trust her!
