this is probably one of the most challenging books by Morrison i have ever read — it was dense, with a large cast of characters and a nonlinear storyline, but those are the two things i absolutely eat UP in stories. Morrison's take on an all-black town whose founders suffered exclusion from black and white people alike was such an intriguing aspect of it. 
i loved it! it was confusing at times and not a light read by any means but i'm already looking forward to reading it again.
