What Members Thought

The first half of this book blew me away. It was my first foray into Toni Morrison (I have since read 3 or 4 other books and intend to read everything) but the second act fell flat for me. The women are so memorably written and I loved them so much. Milkman left something to be desired and the ending was confusing.
