Query: Not for everyone

This is more of a comment than a review. I read The Bluest Eye a few years ago. It's a quick read and depressing. My comment is in response to some other reviews on this page. Whether a reviewer enjoys a book or not, s/he should comment on the content as well as the feelings invoked. If I read a review from someone who didn't seem to have read the book, it isn't very useful to me. The idea that Toni Morrison targets white people in this book is wrong. Anyone who reads this book will notice the scarcity of white characters. Pecola suffers at the hands of relatives and other children, most of whom happen to be black (with one exception). Mainly she suffers from the idea that she isn't beautiful because she doesn't fit a certain image. I'm sorry to say that the concept of beauty Morrison portrays is all too real. Disbelief in that concept of beauty doesn't lessen it.
