The Book of Daniel by E.L. Doctorow
5.0
Review, second time around:
Still a five stars read.
A tragedy.
Magnificent.
*******************
What can I honestly say about this book?
My words can't do it justice!
It was a story, it taught me history and politics of America... It pained me, it caused me to cringe and my face to contort at some events and descriptions and all. It confused the hell out of me because of its multiple narrators: Daniel himself, third person, then Daniel addressing the reader... Reading the book was a labor on its own, I had to be careful and pay attention to ever detail all through the story so that I wouldn't miss a thing... I got mentally tired after reading it, not in a bad way though, in a way a day of hard work that you absolutely love makes you tired...
Idk,,, It just was a great a book... It made you feel the pain by using a very realistic, matter-of-fact language, and that is art!
