Awkward, boring, poorly written, nearly incomprehensible.I admit I did not get to page 75 - so maybe I shouldn't even write a review. But even getting to the point that I did, took extreme perseverance.I know the critics all fawn over this work - but honestly, I hated it - or the part that I did read. Every other sentence it seemed, had an awkward phrase - things like: "Pleasantly troubled..." and "a snowy look".What could these weird phrases mean?I know what an icy look is - but a snowy look?I've been troubled - I'm troubled right now - but it isn't pleasant.Two phrases from memory - but the book is innundated with writing like this.Didn't work for me at all.Don't bother with Beloved.
