annebennett1957 's review for:

3.0

I thought , as I embarked on reading this book, that it would be a re-read for me. But I came to realize that I never actually read the book before. I probably just carried it around with me for a few years since I can still picture the cover. Perhaps I just read the "juicy bits' pointed out by my college roommate who had to study it for a class.

It does use an usual literary technique -- the author inserts himself into the story and actually messes around with the plot and the conclusion. I can see why a professor would want to teach it.

Though well done I will not recommend this one for book club and I doubt I'll tell any high school students to read it. So it will once again fade back into the recesses of my brain to be pondered occasionally alone.
