And it was a shock to me that I didn't like it too. Her other works are very enjoyable, The Bluest Eye, Song of Solomon, Sula-those are her earliest, the ones I loved. Keep an open mind and try her again. You might be surprised.Sandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06265301061583417768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6093833967868208903.post-20738341861993871652009-05-28T22:56:28.460+03:002009-05-28T22:56:28.460+03:00Rebecca, thanks for linking back :)

I might try another before I give up on her just because it turned out to be so deep, which I like. :)Beccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02706544792110129160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6093833967868208903.post-27837631305889112652009-04-28T12:30:00.000+03:002009-04-28T12:30:00.000+03:00kolibri, it was my pleasure :)

I found the beginning to be: 'What the heck ...?', but it turned out I really liked it. But for now I'm done with Morrison. :)Sabrinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00845024976446830534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6093833967868208903.post-91054569175538530562009-03-18T11:04:00.000+03:002009-03-18T11:04:00.000+03:00Monique, I'll add that to my tbr.. thanxDanielle, ...Monique, I'll add that to my tbr.. thanx<BR/><BR/>Danielle, thank for the tip :)Desert Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16546257933457126745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6093833967868208903.post-14017212137514389062009-01-22T22:05:00.000+03:002009-01-22T22:05:00.000+03:00Not an easy book to read.

This one is one of the hardest to read. The style is complex and I when I started it (more 10 years ago)I put it down and will not pick it up until later this month. I think you should try "The Bluest Eyes", it is one of my favorite books but is very sad.Moniquehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00502326778296937393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6093833967868208903.post-50830828257009162992009-01-18T23:40:00.000+03:002009-01-18T23:40:00.000+03:00Candy, check out the review :)Candy, check out the review :)Desert Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16546257933457126745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6093833967868208903.post-47122253904511026402009-01-15T23:05:00.000+03:002009-01-15T23:05:00.000+03:00cant wait for the review,i can swear that am marry...cant wait for the review,<BR/>i can swear that am marrying to my book nowadays <_<Candyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07546807509672807519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6093833967868208903.post-84262772530082872382009-01-14T12:34:00.000+03:002009-01-14T12:34:00.000+03:00Candy, Thanx, LOL so you're avoiding her, although...Candy, Thanx, LOL so you're avoiding her, although Julie says her "Song of Solomon" is good, I might try it when I lighten up my tbr first. You could try that!<BR/>Who Moved My Cheese? is really nice and so accurate to what is really happening in life presented in a cute and simple way! I'll be posting the review soon!<BR/><BR/>Vickie, you are welcome, I guess I should avoid those books too :) <BR/><BR/>Sandy, thanx for the support :) I know there are so many books out there that I'm SURE I will enjoy so I will go start one right now!
