Song of Solomon Audiobook

" beautiful writing, just enough magic to make this story about real people interesting. "

" I really enjoyed the storytelling in this book. "

" Chilling. Morrison's best, for me. "

" I really wasn't all that impressed with this book. Primarily, I just didn't understand where it was going, and what all of the plot threads meant in relation to each other. By the end of the book, I still didn't fully get it, but that's okay. I've wanted to read this book for a long time, and I'm glad I finally did it, even if I didn't end up liking it all that much. "

" Possibly my new favorite book by Ms. Morrison. "

" Toni Morrison is a fantastic writer, and conveys everything in the book brilliantly. However I personally like books I read to have plots, which Song of Solomon really didn't achieve. "

" Mostly a good but her endings.. frankly suck. "

" This was the first Toni Morrison book I have ever read, and also one of the most challenging. But I thoroughly enjoyed the journey. "

" Classic Toni Morrison: Crazy families, ghosts, incest, existential quandaries, murder, etc. etc. Read it! "

" My 1st Novel from Toni Morrison, definitely not the last one...her writing is rich, bright and beautiful... "

" Too much to say. Incredible? One of the best books I've ever read? She has enviable style, tragic humor, impeccable structure. "

" A fantastic book telling the story of a mans life as he lives it from his awkward birth to trials and tribulations along the way. This is a book that needs to be a movie years ago!!! "

" My last quarter at Cal State L.A. I finished up my minor in ethnic lit with a class of totally Toni Morrison. "

" Amazing. There was a bit of the magical realism of Marquez in this book, and I loved it! "

" Love the magical realism in this book.I want to read this again. "

" An Oprah pick. As with all of Toni Morrison's books, I'm glad I've read them but they are rather hard for me to get through. They are better read in a classroom or at least with people with whom a discussion can be held. "

" As I think back on it, I like this book, but while I was reading it I didn't particularly connect with it. I think I like the idea of this novel much more than it's execution. The sentences, however, are excellent as always. "

" Different kind of story telling. "

" I liked this book much more than "Beloved." There are images and snips that I recall often and have become a part of my stories, like "Not Doctor Street." "

" This woman can write! She creates characters who you have never met, but would recognize as soon as you passed them. I could say the same for Carson McCullers. It is a joy to read a great writer every once in a while. You remember how words can be poetry even in a 300 plus page novel. "

" Magical realism at its best. I loved this story and the world Morrison created with her words. "

" Toni Morrison rocks but this book didn't move me quite like Beloved. It's a good weekend read, though, with a nice reminder to think outside ourselves. "

" My favorite of the several I have read by Morrison. Worth a reread. "
