izzypietrzyk 's review for:
Tales of Ordinary Madness
by Charles Bukowski
Difficult to read! The quality jumps between being extraordinarily to completely boring to confusing to filthy...
Absolute marmite of literature. You really either hate or love it.
I fairly enjoyed the realism of Bukowski’s writing. You can imagine every line being played in your mind like a movie, so I guess that’s his true talent.
I found the descriptions of women particularly challenging while reading this book and tried very hard to view it as ‘art’ rather legitimate opinions someone would have about women in today’s world.
After reading this book I’m feel my curiosity of Bukowski has been completely satisfied, and I might never reach for any of his works again... 3/5
