I picked this up and it sounded like something I might enjoy. The storyline intrigued me and I am looking forward to the read.
Okay, I am on page 40. I don't know what to make of this book so far. It is like trying to read something that was written while someone was on Morphine. I know that the 1st chapter is being told from a mentally handicapped person's perspective but it is very disjointed and a bit hard to stay with. The story is somewhat interesting, what I can make out.
I was wrong! It is not interesting. It is a confusing, boring, annoying book. Nothing was settled or finished. I am sure that is what makes it a "great, must read book". As far as writing goes, it was well written. Faulkner can write...duh! But I did not care for the whole story and the way it unfolded.
Sigh...well maybe it was okay. After all, I could not just put it down. I did feel compelled to finish it and I am not entirely sorry I finished it. I just wish it had had a little more closure.
