Flannery O'Connor is such a talented writer who crafted a lovely meditation on how religion affects different people's lives. I think I would have understood the metaphor of this more, and enjoyed it more, if I had ever read the bible. This was a really great book, but I felt like the incessant use of the n-word was overdoing it a bit on O'Connor and her characters part. Overall, I liked the book, but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone on account of how niche it is.
