samcordaro 's review for:

Ulysses by James Joyce
5.0

I am not giving this book a five star rating because it was fun to read, or because I learned a lot from reading it, or because it's a renowned classic. Joyce gets five stars for Ulysses for the feeling of this book, the experience of reading it itself. I felt confusion, awe, enlightenment, boredom, amusement, and more (gonna put in some quotes for examples.) This odyssey of humanity is a capsule of one extraordinary life that can offer the patient and diligent reader numerous insights into the breadth of their own humanity.
