Sethe, its protagonist, was born a slave and escaped to Ohio, but eighteen years later she is still not free. She has too many memories of Sweet Home, the beautiful farm where so many hideous things happened. And Sethe’s new home is haunted by the ghost of her baby, who died nameless and whose tombstone is engraved with a single word: Beloved. Filled with bitter poetry and suspense as taut as a rope, Beloved is a towering achievement. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Thought Provoking. This book was actually supposed to be one of the books for a class I cancelled due to scheduling conflicts. It was also listed as one of the best American novels of the past 25 years...so I kept it even after canceling the class. While it was an interesting story and a thought provoking read, I had a hard time with this book for a few different reasons. Writing Style The narrative was written in a close third person following very closely alongside the minds of a few main characters, ... Read More Rating:  - couldn't put it downAfter the first 15 pages and adjusting to her style, the story grabbed me so tight, I sat all day Saturday until I finished the book. Haven't done this in 20 years or more. Stellar, view-altering, yummy, and soul searching angst. Read it, weep, smile and learn. Rating: - Jessica LopezIn the award-winning novel by Toni Morrison, BELOVED was one of the many books that I enjoyed reading with a heart-warming passion. It lead me by the hands through the struggling story of Sethe, a runaway slave, trying to let go of her past. As her and her family move to a farm in a house called #124, Sethe realizes that she hasn't left all the torment she has been haunted by behind. She's lost so many along her life, that she's not even sure she can survive on her own, so she leans on Paul D. to help her ... Read More Rating: - Oh My God! Are You Kidding Me?This is a FIVE STAR book. It's fantastic... but it's beyond that. It's the greatest American novel since Huck Finn. No kidding. It's an American Classic. I can't believe there are people that would give this less than FOUR or FIVE stars. It's obvious that they didn't read or understand the book on any level. This is one of the greatest books I've ever read. It will change you and open your mind. It's absolutely haunting and beautiful. If you're looking for brilliance give this book your attention. Rating: - Raw & PowerfulToni'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 you believe yourself to know about slavery and how slaves "survived" on plantations and farms, Morrison will open your ... Read More
