This is the first book I have read by Toni Morrison. Her Writing is so powerful I could feel the pain of each character. Because of the life each one suffered you understood the outcome. This book should help you become more compassionate, loving, and understanding of ALL people. We are all the same on the insideBook Review: All Eyes Of All Colors Will Be Opened

Summary: 5 Stars
I fought reading this book -- thinking it would be depressing and a real downer. But I found it to be absolutely amazing. One of the best books I think I'll ever read. It made me think of things I've never thought of and see things in a whole different way. I really think it helped me to understand some of the things that black people face every day. However, I think that many of the points it made could be applied to any race. I recommend it very highly, and will be suggesting it to my book club at our next meeting.Book Review: An Essential Part of Anyone's Literary Collection
Summary: 5 Stars
"The Bluest Eye" is, as my title specifies, an essential book to have in your own library. This is the one book that has, I believe, taught me more about the power of language than any other contemporary text, fictional or nonfictional. Not only that, but the ways in which we sacrifice that power we hold as individuals to use our words and the actions they inspire to do good, for ourselves and others. An excellent commentary on the ways in which the worlds we create for ourselves often resemble the hell we imagine surrounds us.Book Review: An Interesting Book
Summary: 3 Stars
I found this book very interesting but at times confusing .Soaphead Church made it that way. He could have been left out. As far as the other characters they were true to the story . One must go beyond the language and abuse Pecola endured as these are things people experience. It is reality .I felt as if I could see her and understand this child. For those that never had to live the way these characters had to they will not understand where Toni Morrison is coming from. I found this a book that really touches the heart.
