I found pages of pure genius in this novel. So much better than 'Catcher in the Rye' that I would recommend choosing this work over the earlier one if reading time is scarce. My only complaint is the writing in dialect that gets tiresome over time and serves to confuse more than enhance. I found ...
Enjoyable but didn't really resonate with me. It's not a novel that will stay with me or that I will remember to recommend but it provided several nights of good reading so there's that.
I enjoyed this, but it isn't nearly as good as Continental Drift or Cloudsplitter. I was disappointed about the Oedipal-woman as sex object scene that went down near the end, that's for sure.
