A review by platokaramazov
Ulysses by James Joyce
5.0
It was a goal for me to read this novel before I turned 30. And I did it in a few weeks.
This book is incredibly dirty, and it is no wonder that it was banned until 1934. Not much else can really be said about this book. While I don't have any Irish background, and am not at all familiar with Ireland, I still had little difficulty understanding what was going on. The book has a reputation for being difficult, but the truth of the matter is that it is incredibly dirty and hilarious, and nobody really acknowledges that. The judge, in his decision to unban the book, doesn't really state the specific segments in question, and you're left to wonder for ~350-400 pages exactly what makes it so objectionable. I can assure you, however, that the book definitely delivers.
And I'm not gonna say anything more than that.
