The Bluest Eye by Toni Morrison
5.0
HOLY WOW THIS BOOK.
I could go on and on about this book and the impact it creates, but I'll spare you.
I was confused as to why she would "humanize" characters who caused the most pain for Pecola, but I realized Morrison wanted us to understand them, but not pardon them. She wanted us to know what made them who they are. I have never read anything that could this so beautifully.
Also, the reoccurring "Dick and Jane" WAS GENIUS! I was confused at first, but then I looked it up, and everything made sense.
At first, I was a little overwhelmed by the amount of symbolism, but the more I read, the more I saw how talented Morrison it. I mean, my freaking mind is blown. I finished this four days ago, and I'm STILL stupified.
This book was incredible. Yes, I cried, more than I'd like to admit.
Shoutout to the one and only, Ariel Uppstrom, for the book. Even if I hate to admit, you always reccomend some killer books.
All in all, this was the definition of a GOOD MF read!
