i havent read that one in years. i first read it in 4th grade and i think it was a bit much for me then. if you like dark satire-read it. i recently unpacked my books maybe i'll crack open my copy.

i love this book!!! it creacks me up and makes complete sense in my mind. some sketchy parts but not crude but like stories about soliders hanging out at whore houses. but just the overall despair and the way the main character reacts to it and the way the author puts it, this is my favorite novel.

I liked it. I read it when I was 15 or 16 and I remember it being very hard to understand. At that point, I needed to read it with a dictionary in hand. I like books like that, though. The author really has a mastery of language and he can use the perfect words to describe what he wants to say.
