Biggest disappointment, "BELOVED" by Toni Morrison--Rashid, You cant be serious?
This is the greatest masterpiece in the African American canon of the late twentieth century, are you kidding me? Now the film is a disaster, but the novel should be undisputed. It is absolutely (in)genius. What disappointed you?
