So my book is Song of Solomon and were right now almost at the middle of the book. Its easy to figure that one out since there is a part I and part II of the book. Anyways, the book is really fun. It has a bunch of twists and turns and it just wraps you up into it. I was reading Savannah's blog and I kinda feel the same way that sometimes it gets hard to put it down. Kind of like how television does those little teasers. They are quite annoying actually.
I actually like how the book is quite in the historical time that the author puts it into. What with segregation and lynching and racism. These also really apply themselves to the overall plot of the book.
I have found that the book is very descriptive. You can easily picture the scenes and follow the story very well. Its like watching a good movie, just better.
What the author also does is use the sort of uneducated black accents that were used in those days. Sometimes it confuses me, but you can certainly tell the difference when an educated person talks rather than an uneducated person.
So far, my literature circle seems to be grasping the book quite well, so it hasn't appeared to confusing. A lot of our conversations though do include lots of questions about the book, so maybe there are some foggy parts that people can't really figure out. I've had my fair share as well. A good example is Hagar. What is with her? Seriously, she has some major issues.
Overall, I have really enjoyed this book and am really excited to read it. Thanks Spence.
