This book is very BORINGReview created: 10/09/09

The book starts off about a psycho man that is explaining that he is psycho. Then it continues on about how he becomes psycho. One chapter (about 25-30 pages) talks about a man having sex with his DAUGHTER! It don't go into details on it, it talks about why they had sex. Then it continues on with this guys life... I have 27 people in my class, everyone but one hated the book. The one that liked the book, doesn't speak English very well... I don't believe he read the book. I love reading books, but this book is very difficult for me to read it. I keep falling a sleep!

Smooth transaction.
Do not accept credit card. It makes the transaction slower because the seller needs to wait for the clearance of the e-check.

Bought it for school, good book.
Unquestionably, Ellison’s book is a powerfully imagined and written with a savage, wryly humorous gusto. It contains many scenes which are brought off with great brio and a striking felicity of detail. To my mind, however, it has faults that cannot simply be shrugged off—occasional overwriting, stretches of fuzzy thinking, and a tendency to waver, confusingly, between realism and surrealism.

A classic - Grows with timeReview created: 12/16/06

I liked the fact that this is a classic that you always learn something new from. I've got an old worn copy that I wrote in when I read it the first time in high school. I pull it out from time to time to see my growth as a thinker and a writer.
I don't know that it was as good as I had remembered at the time. But I think of life lessons that we can learn from this novel.
It is no wonder that Ellison created this book and essentially stopped. I would highly recommend this for any high school student that does not have this on their required reading. If nothing else, it is great preparation for college english classes.
