Absalom, Absalom!
by William Faulkner
It took me a while to get used to Faulkner's incredibly long sentences, and longer still to actually get through this book, but I was actually interested and invested enough to want to finish it. Barring the first 25% of The Sound and the Fury , this is the first thing I've read from Faulkner. The achronological revealing of details reminded me a little bit of Ishiguro's Never Let Me Go, in that I felt that in the back of my mind I already knew what was going on before it was fully explored.
I did enjoy reading it, there were a lot of things that I felt was significant but ultimately went over my head. I'm curious enough to actually go read up on the analysis of this book, but I'm not going higher than 3 stars when my reaction immediately upon reading the last words was just, "huh. okay then."
