90% of the book is flawless. This was my first foray into Toni Morrison's work and it's a delight to find all the hubbub about her to prove valid.
It truly was a joy to read and see all the settings and colours manifest through her fantastic prose.
Nonetheless, what keeps it from being perfect was the last portion of the novel that ironically contained a plot. It was drawn out and yet abrupt all at the same time. Perhaps I need to look around and see the deep analysis surrounding that section and I can see somewhat of its merit now in retrospect but as of right now, that is where I stand.
Be that as it may, I am not only a fan of Morrison but now an unofficial student of her craft and I will definitely be looking into more of her work.
