it was amazing
bookshelves: favorites

Exactly the flawless masterpiece you've heard it is. I've read hundreds of novels in my day, & this is in the top 3 (On equal shelf with "A Confederacy of Dunces" & "Blonde." (My own personal trifecta perfecta: The THE the best novels of ALL TIME!)) I will never stop lauding this book. Unbelievable, mythic; the stuff from the Gods to anyone with an eye & brain to receive from the way-up up up heights.

This is LIFE AFFIRMING literature that's meant to be treasured for the rest of your blessed life. The main character will stay with you until the day you die...

Erin Clemence Agreed. This book was creative, thought-provoking and intelligent.


Jeanette Fabian, it's even better in the audible. They play music of the placement between the chapters. MOTOWN for most, if you know what that is. I remember this one in my top ten for many years after the experience.

I really must get into audio books. But yes, it is an astounding achievement of human emotion, intellect and aesthetic art.


Blaine DeSantis One of my favorites, also!

Mariah Roze Our Diversity in All Forms Book Club is reading this for April. We’d love to have you join the discussion on it. :) /topic/show/...


Elizabeth Managan When you say ‘Blond� do you mean the Joyce Carol Oates novel about M. Monroe?
