Beloved Reflection

It is finally over. No, I am not talking about the 6 week robotics build season that just finished with two all-nighters (stayed at school until 1:30 a.m. on a school day), but I am talking about Beloved by Toni Morrison. I saw its academic values, but, to be honest, I did not find the book to be amusing at all.
I believe the main factor that made this reading seem forced and not enjoyable is Morrison's writing style. She makes things complicated, and writes in such a unique way that it makes it hard for the reader to comprehend what she is trying to tell. I was one of these such readers who was totally confused, since it took me a good hour to read 30 pages of the novel and feel like I the majority of what was written in the section.
Another factor that contributed to this novel not amusing to me at all is the plot itself. While I do understand the subject matter of the story is important, the plot seems too slow to tell anything and events that happen are minor. If you would recall The Road by Cormac McCarthy that we read before this, that novel at least had a decent story-line, even though it seemed like it was repetitive. The events in the story made it somewhat interesting to read, and I was continuously curious what was going to happen to the man and the boy. However, in Beloved, I did not get a similar feeling toward Sethe and Denver as I did for the travelers. I could care less what happened to Sethe and everyone else, since it seemed like everyone in the story was self-centered and did not care for the people around them (Sethe leaving Paul D in the rain after flirting with him, and so on).
To summarize, I did not enjoy the book. I am glad that I do not have read this book anymore, and I hope the next book that we will read in class be more enjoyable. I have high hopes for the next book since it is going to be Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte, a story about revenge that I was going to read for my research project but got shot down by Mr.Mullins since we are going to read it in class.
