Book Reviews of The Bluest Eye

Book Review: "My two and a half cents"
Summary: 5 Stars

This novel impressed me as being a rich, poetically transcending, yet highly personal portraiture, of "small town" life, from across the tracks, in early forties America. Told from a childs perspective, the language varies from being on the cusp of lucidity, to biting, to playful, to raw. It was an exciting and soulful stew of a story, dark and esoterical enough to keep the reader involved along it's journey. The phrasing and poetic flourishes were delicious and mouth watering like a seven-up candy bar and worth the time and six-pence.
