4.75

I loved this book. I only deducted 1/4 of a star because of a couple disturbing graphic descriptions that I thought were unnecessary and took away from my reading experience somewhat. Not a judgment of Morrison's writing so much as my preference. I still highly recommend this book.

In spite of the content warnings I added to this I absolutely loved this book. Toni Morrison's writing in so beautiful; it also can be extremely sad and disturbing.
