A short, lyrical , gripping novel, and a great joy to read
In this short, lyrical and gripping novel, Tony Morrison has undertaken, once again, to explore her favorite subject: the evils of slavery. Written in prose so lovely and mesmerizing that it reminded me of her "Sula", also a short novel, published thirty-five years ago, "A Mercy" was a great joy to read. Jacob Vaark, a Dutch-born farmer and trader, and Rebekka, his English wife own a tobacco ...

Great Plan to Follow
Like many, over the years I have tried countless weight loss tactics. There are many good ones out there and I believe in taking a little bit of knowledge from each, that works for me and simply eating healthier as opposed to following a stringent diet. Whenever my weight starts to go up again it is absolutely because I stopped following the guidelines in this book. I pick up the book and read ...

Raw & Powerful
Toni's Morrison's Beloved is a hard, frustrating, and emotionally draining piece of literary art. Saying this, her prose is written like something I've never read. She throws you in the middle of the narrative and does not tell you why her characters are saying or acting like they are. It is a finely written detective story that is heartbreaking. Everyone needs to read this Nobel Prize novel. If ...

Great resource on sports trivia
I love books like this. Jam-packed with facts, including sometimes little known facts. Sports trivia catches my attention. . . . The ESPN Sports Almanac exemplifies the genre. It begins with a look at the past year in sports. My favorite section in this part of the book is "Extra Points," weird things that happened. For example, John McEnroe, playing in a kind of "old-timers" match got ...

Awesome book
I bought this book after it was suggested by one of professors in my M.A. in Counseling Psychology program. It is very helpful for the begining clinician in making a diagnosis and it also provides examples of clients with the particular disorders in order to demonstrate a clear picture of what the presenting features are like.

Rouges Gallery? The Black Glove is the real deal!!!
Let me start this off by saying, The Black Glove is one of the best batman stories i've ever read, dare I say, better than Jeph Loeb's HUSH! First of all i recommend you buy "Batmand and Son" and read that before buying this book. Both books contribute to the build up of Batman RIP. This book starts off with issues #667 - #669 for the first half. In these four issues, Batman goes to a ...

Masterpiece [25]
Morrison's "Song of Solomon" encapsulates her strongest skills into one novel. The story line is unparalleled - it eclipses even some of her other highly acclaimed pieces like "Sula" or "Beloved." The dialect delivered by the people is equal to that shown in "Jazz" or "Beloved." And, her weaving of the story lines throughout the pages of the novel, sews the novel's fabric or philosophies ...

Gripping, Haunting
I literally could not stop reading, once I started. In The Bluest Eye, Toni Morrison tells the story of the Breedloves, a hard-luck Black family whose existence is defined by its members' conviction that they cannot be loved as they are. Little Pecola Breedlove longs to be loved. She decides that if she only had blue eyes, everything else would fall into place. I learned a great deal ...

WHO'S LOVING YOU PT 1
If you liked Sweeter than Honey, you have to read "Who's loving you". I loved this book. Couldn't put it down. Finished in a day and a maybe an hour. Fell asleep reading it because I didn't want to put it down and woke up and finished the last chapter. The writing was outstanding and the characters were great. I even loved the funny parts. Everything in this book is so real. The opening " ...

World is Truly Smaller
With all the international trade and travel to and from foreign countries this book prepares all people in the cultures and foreign courtesies each of us should at least have an idea of. Most foreigners appreciate even the most small recognition that we can expend toward their culture and practices even if we make small blunders in doing so - it shows we are aware that there are differences in ...

Wow, Dorothy! This isn't Kansas anymore!
This is the most wondrous, high-octane book on my shelf, and I have pointed several other Witches towards it! Hurray Dorothy! I recently used a fashion doll from the Dollar Store as a poppet, per one of the recommendations in the book, and laid one helluva hex without sewing a poppety stitch. Great for those of us who are Witchy as heck, but domestically impaired. I also loved Dorothy's tips ...

Complete, total perfection
Morrison has written some great comics - New X-Men, Doom Patrol, WE3, Animal Man, JLA, and the list goes on - but this might be the best thing he's ever created. He strips Superman down to the basics, blending Silver Age earnestness with wild, far-ranging science fiction and mythology, and in the process he creates the perfect Superman story. From the one-page, four-panel origin story to Clark ...

Bold and Daring
Grant Morrison has never been one to stick to formula, and here his vision goes wild. From the Joker being shot to a visually fantastic romp in a modern art museum, Morrison introduces concepts to the Batman mythos that have either not been seen in some time or were deemed too crazy to work. From page one, Morrison's story builds like a massive puzzle, piece by piece, and only when the whole is ...

Beguiled By Beloved
"Beloved" by Toni Morrison is a beguiling, beautiful story. I found myself a little lost at first. It seemed like the story would shift at a crucial point, and we were left wondering what happened. But I was pulled in, even from the first couple of chapters,the characters had a hold on me, and I had to know their story. The more I read, the more I saw that the story was actually coming together ...
