zach 's review for:
The Sound and the Fury
by William Faulkner
The Sound and the Fury. To me, the title was intriguing. However, that was the extent of the intrigue. I think I partly wanted to read this because it is a "Faulkner" book. The renowned William Faulkner. I have read some of his short stories, and they are readable, and even enjoyable to some degree.
I absolutely abhorred this book. It was all over the place, which I know was part of the design, but it was just too much for me. I could hardly track with anything that was being portrayed. I understand that many people have read this book and fully understood all of the inner workings of the plot. It just wasn't for me. Maybe one day I will get bold and try to read it again. But as far as I'm concerned, I don't want to read it again. I felt utterly miserable after reading the book. Not only because of the contents, but because of how I had to struggle through it to get it read.
Honestly, just thinking back about the time when I read this book fills me with dread. I never want to discourage anyone from reading a book, but this one was just too much for me. Hopefully you get more out of it than I did.
