A review by tmilligan
Wise Blood by Flannery O'Connor

2.0

About halfway through, I thought "I don't get it". Then, three quarters through, I thought "ooh I think I see what she's doing!", but by the end I was sure I didn't get it. There are some good portrayals of the ways people use religion for all sorts of things other than what it's officially intended to be, but other than that I'm not sure what to say about this. I read it quickly, almost single-mindedly, which, although perhaps appropriate given the protagonist, was definitely done out of a desire to be done with it. If you understood this book and can explain why it's great, let me know.
