A review by thefavoritenpc
The Book of Daniel by E.L. Doctorow

3.0

I have mixed feelings about this novel. There were huge chunks I read eagerly, hanging on Doctorow's strange, disconnected prose. Then there were chunks that did nothing but ramble on about Communism. The final chapters were so touching a beautiful that I ALMOST gave this novel 4 stars, but a passing reference to desired incest (for the millionth time) trumps that wonderful scene at Disneyland.
