Hated it!  A twelve page paragraph is just ridiculous.

There are other great American writers sure.  But Faulkner and Mark Twain are in separate class by themselves.

The story's a good one, but man oh man it was easy for me to get lost in those sentences that lasted 2 or 3 pages!  I read one out loud to see if it made more sense that way, and I got winded before I made it to the end.

So far, this is a difficult read... Set in the racist south... not sure where its going at this point.

If you have any interest in English writing you have to read Faulkner.  He's sometimes hard to read.  This book has a good storyline that holds you and enables you to appreciate the sometimes difficult sentences.

Personally, I recommend this as your first Faulkner reading.  You can really grasp his gift of language, image and character when enveloped in such a riveting plot.  Also, highly recommended to Grisham fans.

Nice book with some miserable stream of consciousness deserts. Nice ending.

I liked the story but it was a pain in the butt to read! This was one of the hardest books I have read in a long time actually.
