djla2009 's review for:

Ulysses by James Joyce

Woo I started this book the day after Thanksgiving last year. It's one of the most creative novels in terms of writing style I've ever read but also frustrating. It can be difficult to understand at times. Each chapter is written in a different style. Usually, by the end of the chapter, I had gotten used to the style and was starting to understand, then Joyce switches everything up at the start of the next chapter. It was a fun experience.

I also listened to a youtuber Chris Reich summarize and draw your attention to certain parts of the chapter. He has a video for each chapter so I would watch it after reading the chapter. That helped a lot with understanding.

I don't see myself reading this one again as it's a big effort, but I could see myself going back to reread certain chapters or sections at some point.
