 my favorite book December 1, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
As an obsessive reader, I've read a great deal of "what's out there" - traditional great works, multi-cultural lit, and "fluff". This remains my favorite, not only of Morrison's works, but of any book.
I've re-read Song of Solomon multiple times, and always find something new. Her writing is magical and uplifting (as opposed to Beloved, which is great in its own right, but certainly not exhilirating). I've also never experienced a book ending quite as extraordinary and spiritual as this one.
classic toni morrison book October 28, 2007
This book, along with Sula and The Bluest Eye, are my
favorite novels by Toni Morrison. It is a beautifully
written story about Solomon and his struggle to define
himself in a black family. The plot itself is basic
but what stands out in my mind is the language. Toni
Morrison has an eye for detail and for invoking the
struggle for survival in this crazy, mixed up world.
There's not too much more I can say without giving away
the story but this book is definitely a well written effort.

This is a book you probably had to read in high school. You'll love now you're all grown up!
This novel is one of the best I've ever read about the search for identity. Ms. Morrison serves up the richest of emotional stews: histories and aspirations of African Americans, Native Americans, the rich, poor, the loved and those seeking love. This book is truly a song!

This is one of my favorite books. I recommend that people read this before tackling any other Toni Morrison novels. I like this book better than her other novels because I could understand it more. I feel as if there is less symbolism here than in her other work. She is not as flowery here and uses more "plain everyday language." Overall, a great book. It is a good purchase for a home library.
A rich, full novel January 29, 2007

Toni Morrison were letting the youth know about, people with amazing collection of losers and fighters, innocents and murders, followers of ghosts and followers of money, all of whom add to the pleasure of this exceptionally diverse novel. When Toni was a little girl she was raised in a bad neiborhood. Toni was scared to come out side the house because of the dangerous surroundings around here. Toni had a miserable life. She listened to stories from her friends about them getting raped and abused by their parents. She was very scared of her father as a young child.
I like this book because it's a good example about a freighting childhood inside of a bad neiborhood. I was raised in a bad nationhood but I wasn't scared of nothing I was very brave. She teaches our youth today to watch your surroundings. If you read this boot you would be like what a child life. You would never want to put your feet in her shoes.
