What an insane debut novel. This isn't my first novel by Morrison, though, so I feel like her later work is better than this one. Of course, it's beautifully written. The way she chooses her words and sentence structures makes me go insane in a good way. I feel like if I were to closely study The Bluest Eye and analyze it, I'd like it more. But overall, if a story shocks me so much to the point where I need a break, I'd say the author did a good job.
