This was a fantastic book. I didn't find it as compelling as The Bluest Eye, but it was nonetheless a solid novel. I really liked the characters of Paul D and Denver, and found Beloved to be both incomprehensible and deeply unsettling. The voices of the characters here were vibrant and the commentary on slavery was brutal and heartwrenchimg.
