Phenomenal.. A magnificent, heartbreaking piece of literature. Everything is described in crisp detail. It's filled with remarkable twists and turns, making it a true page-turner. I highly recommend this book.

Difficult subject. There’s no doubt that this book is well written. But, I found it difficult to read certain sections because of the POV of the subject matter.

Phenomenal. This is a phenomenal book. I strongly recommend it to every black woman in America, especially teenagers. Morrison successfully spoke for every black woman who has dealt with insecurities and endured physical and mental abuse.

Boringggg and Depressing. I really did not like the one page descriptions of every little thing in this in this book, every clock, crack in the pavement, every depressing feeling of pecolas. It was very annoying. The book is sad and gloomy, There is no plot just descriptions of characters, it's not building to anything. No comic relief, no romance, no twist and turns. It jumps every chapter. The PLAY I loveeeed but the book was a waste of ten dollars.

The Bluest Eye. Follow the difficuties of a girl trying to fit in.

Tough but Beautiful. The Bluest Eye is not for the faint of heart. Morrison’s writing is raw, evocative, and heartbreaking. The black America of this time was never so artfully or honestly portrayed. Morrison weaves together a story of pain, love, suffering, tenderness, faith, love, and hatred with such craftmanship. The Bluest Eye is a difficult but magnificent novel.

The Struggles of Black America. Morrison gives an impassioned tale of what it was like to be black in a developing American society and yet falls somewhat flat with stagnant themes. Furthermore, the author's disjointed narrative loses some of the heartfelt impact explored in the final chapter. Overall, Morrison succeeds in presenting a somber portrayal of black America while missing the mark on some key narrative moments. Too often are her characters left to the void after their introduction.

Its rough love <3. What can I say about Toni Morrison that Oprah hasn't already said? It is simply magnificent, I read it for a close comparative read of her and William Faulkner- I could barely put it down it was so captivating It's tough to read sometimes because her focus on details to characters you would not normally want to focus on, making it difficult to really hate the antagonists or admire the protagonists. It's a lovely way to evaluate people through different views, understanding why "bad" people do the bad things they do... It makes you stare down the characters intentions; whether it was done maliciously or was really well meant. I loved it and would suggest it to anyone : )

It was bad. I hated it. It reads like a book of poetry smh

The Bluest Eye. The stars speak for themselves. Toni Morrison’s incredible, talented gift of story telling never disappoints and always gives us an in depth detailed telescoped vision into the characters in the Bluest Eye. A book my Mother owned and now I was privileged to read. No Toni Morrison book should ever be banned. Every generation should be introduced to her works and it should be in their curriculum in the classroom or home. I am grateful to have finally read “The Bluest Eye.”

Interesting Choice. This story had a slow beginning, but once I got into the story, it made me want to read it all the way to the end. The message behind the story made me personally reflect on my own idea of beauty and what society believes is beautiful.

Speechless. After taking a good deep dive into what the words were actually saying did I put it all together. It is not a happy book but rather the most honest one there is. There is no sugarcoating and dwindling of things down. The truth is bare and that is what makes it great. The different points of view really piece it all together, learning of a single person yet learning it from how other see her, how her parents see themselves and how this affects her is extraordinary. It was a tough read especially near the end not because of bad writing or the writers fault but because of the attachment you grow to have with the characters. Comparing and learning that what a fictional character when through its what many already experienced. It is humbling and it taught me to have gratitude. 100% recommend.

An art. One of the most amazing and most detailed books I have ever read. Toni Morrison’s words brought real life senses, emotions, and images to me. She is truly a gifted artist.

Literary Masterpiece. Simply put — perfection! A story with extraordinary depth.

The Bluest Eyes. I picked this book because of its author, because I have loved other Toni Morrison books. But I never really liked it even though I read the whole thing. I kept thinking it’ll get better, I’ll identify with the characters but I just didn’t. The main characters are not lovable either. Maybe it’s a racial thing, my not enjoying the novel because I am white and have never had any similar experiences. Honestly, I cannot recommend this book.
