The Bluest Eye is a devastating story. While short in length, I found myself taking my time while reading this novel. Compared to her other books, Morrison's writing in this one is so emotionally charged and difficult to read. I wholeheartedly believe that everyone, no matter their race, gender, or socioeconomic status should read this title. That is all that I have to say about The Bluest Eye. Some books are just so powerful that writing an "all-encompassing" review is impossible. This is one of those books.
