Book Reviews of The Bluest Eye
Book Review: A Beautiful Book
Summary: 4 Stars
I first read this book a few years ago and was surprised by the power and beauty in Morrison's words. After reading the book again, I am again struck by how much she can say in this little book. Pecola is a pathetic figure that makes one truly question their place in the world. The idea that to be beautiful one must look a certain way is an idea Pecola struggles with every day in her search for "the bluest eyes" as many of us in today's world also struggle to be happy with our identities. I enjoyed reading this book and highly recommend reading it.
