I was just wondering if anyone has read this book? It's by Toni Morrison and it's really good. If you have what did you think of it?

It's a definite must!!! Here's what the back says:
Each night Pecola prayed for blue eyes. In her eleven years, no one had ever noticed Pecola. But with blue eyes, she thought, everything would be different. She would be so pretty that her parents would stop fighting. Her father would stop drinking. Her brother would stop running away. If only she could be beautiful. If only people would look at her. When someone finally did, it was her father, drunk. He raped her. Soon she would bear his child.....
I was like whoa when I read that. And yes it's a very good book.
