Customer Review: This is yet the best book that Toni Morrison has ever written. It's so deep that you probably will have to read it at least twice. I will admit that while reading this book I thought that Toni Morrison was way off her rocker due to the way she writes. In all honesty you will have to read this... more info
Customer Review: Amazing book! A wonderful world of fascinating characters, haunting history and sweet humor. I loved this book and will surely read it again. I'm also recommending it to everyone I know. Brilliant writing!
Customer Review: I have been waiting to read this book ever since I heard the Booker buzz and I was not disappointed. Although there are many books written by Indian authors showcasing the great divide that is India, this novel struck a cord like no other. Maybe it was the dark humor or the simplicity of the... more info
Customer Review: Oscar Wao is well-written, but the voice the author uses is so smug, so full of machismo college-boy swagger, and so completely disrespectful of women, I found it very difficult to continue reading. Even in the end, when the narrator seems to have grown up some, he still refers to his spouse as "the... more info

Customer Review: It aggrieves me to give Stephen King a poor review. I've been a fan of most of his work since "Carrie." I'm not going to go into all the stories in this book - suffice it to say that I found the majority of them derivative and predictable. Or maybe I'm just a jaded old fart now . . . still, I'm... more info
Customer Review: This is one of my very favorite books right now. The emotions invoked are raw and rare. The story is very touching and real. The writing is splendid and paints a vivid picture. I had an Afghanistan-born gentleman, who saw me reading it, ask me if I liked it. I responded in the affirmative, and he... more info
Customer Review: I wish I had read a preview of this book before buying it. The writing style grates on my mind like nails on a chalkboard. The nouns in almost every sentence are accompanied by so many adjectives and modifiers that I had to re-read almost every sentence. My brain hurt so much by the end of the first... more info
Customer Review: I have been fascinated by them since I was young and watch some things on tv when they come up, so the subject of the book appealed to me and I am very happy I picked this up. With the use of flashbacks you are bought into the 1930s and the harsh existence for both people and animals that are... more info
