A review by bfth23
Humboldt's Gift by Saul Bellow

3.0

Like many of the prize winners that I have been reading over the past year, the book is good, but goes on for too long. Too much prose that for me, loaded things down for too long. Which is why, I suppose, I am not a scholar. The sections I loved, I truly loved. But then things would get bogged down in words and more words that added nothing to the story for me.
