This is quite a hard book to review: I liked the atmosphere and most of the writing, but for a large part this is a difficult book to read.

First time I read this I don't think it really sank in, the second time was much more enjoyable, made much more sense.

This was a tough book to get into. A slow, dark novel with some beautiful language. Worth a read if you can stomach it.

I'm just gonna repeat what someone else here said because she hit the nail on the head. "If Gabriel Garcia Marquez got knocked up by William Faulkner and birthed a deranged novel that was kept locked up in the basement and beaten daily, it would be 'And The Ass Saw The Angel."
