Just finished reading Beloved, and – oh goodness – that was absolutely crazy! You know how reading is supposed to be like taking someone for a walk through a park; it’s not supposed to feel like you are just reading piece of text. Well, I feel like I just got out of the darkest and most grotesque forest ever created, walking with a deranged woman. I understand that Toni Morrison wrote this book to show people that slavery is wrong, but does she really need to be this graphic? All of the images she creates with her graphic words made me put the book down, and go wash out my eyes because I could not believe that I just read what I just read!
