“I love this story (and the movie was really good as well). Morrison has a real talent for abstraction which strikes at all cognitive levels. Another story where I personally wonder: Did this happen?

“I liked the book better than the movie. This is a wonderful fiction master piece. It has so many twist and turns to it.

In order to fully grasp the impact of the novel you have to stick with it and try to think of the position of the Sethe, Denver, Paul D, and Beloved herself. Parts of it complete shocked me, but it is a must read especially those who are interested in the impact of slavery.”
