First I will say would give the movie, Deep End of the Ocean, 3 stars. I think that the director did a wonderful job of staying true to the story and script. Some lines in the movie I recognized word for word from the book. There were a few minor differences but I enjoyed it.
I ended up renting “Song of Solomon” from my local library. Apparently some error occurred with my online order and I was just waiting in vain. I started the book and I always find myself struggling to “adapt” to a new authors writing. I get used to one authors style and then it takes me a minute to get used to another authors style. After I read the Twilight Saga it took me about six months before I was able to pick up another book and read it from cover to cover. There was something about Stephenie Meyer's writing that was so natural to me (and of course Edward Cullen helped!) It was just too hard (and not fun) to dive into a new book.
Now that I am getting into the heart of the story behind “Song of Solomon” I enjoy the way Toni Morrison can blend from one characters point of view to another characters point of view, almost without the reader even knowing it. The other intriguing concept is the way the family relationship boundaries are blurred… a mother that may have had an inappropriate relationship with her father, a boy that nursed well beyond the socially excepted age, an abusive father and an intimate relationship between second cousins.
