sam_hildebrandt 's review for:

Ulysses by James Joyce
3.0

Promoted to read this massive book for a summer reading project and as a personal challenge, I was able to advance my reading comprehension in a book I found somewhat boring. I didn’t really enjoy the material or plot, but I did enjoy the “Easter egg hunt” architecture with the literary styles and themes woven throughout Ulysses. Each chapter (or episode) implements a special literary writing style. Some are old; some are new; some unheard of in 2018.

My recommendation: don’t read this book “for fun.” If you want a perplexing book to add to your bookshelf, read this. If you want to suffer along with your friends and create a plethora of inside jokes, read this. Or if your a literary sadist, read this!!
