Dan's Blues

I'm sure that James Baldwin is a terrific writer but I have to be honest about this short story. "Sonny's Blues" has to be one of the WORST things that I have ever read. This story couldn't have been any more boring than what it was. It was an absolute struggle to make it through the twenty agonizing pages. The story moved so slow, it almost put me to sleep. Sonny was the only entertaining character and we only got a glimpse into his life at the end. To little, to late. If the story had been told from his point of view, it would have been a more entertaining read. Needless to say, I will not be recommending this to anyone.
