The Bluest Eye by Toni Morrison

I'll admit it - Toni Morrison is an incredible writer.  There were sentences (sometimes paragraphs or pages) that I had to reread just to admire the skill with which she chooses her words and forms her descriptions.  So why is it that I have so much trouble liking her books?  Frankly, I think I'm so focused on the beautiful writing that I can't get into the story.  The Bluest Eye was another book club choice, and it was a good one for discussion.  Yet we all sort of felt that we read it because we had to and not because we enjoyed reading it.  Did I like it?  Yes, I did.  Will I read another book by Toni Morrison?  Not unless it's assigned.  -June
