I'm finding it really difficult to articulate my thoughts on this book. There were times that I loved it, and times were I was flipping through the pages to see how long until the end. A lot of what Faulkner is writing about went over my head, largely due to my inability to connect with any character and writing. It was amazing to see how easily he slips into multiple different and distinct dialogues though.
