Liisa's Reviews > The Bluest Eye

I knew The Bluest Eye would be a tough one to read and it was. Though think the story could have been made even more touching had it been executed differently. Now the structure distanced the reader from the characters. It also felt like some unimportant scenes were incorporated and they took too much space in this short novel. I would have preferred to get more time with scenes more related to the main plot of the story, but I really adored the prose. Toni Morrison has an incredible skill of describing silent moments, making you aware of even the smallest details. And the subject, of course, is something important and actual still, unfortunately.
