boorrito 's review for:
Humboldt's Gift
by Saul Bellow
What a mess of a novel! How terrible Chicago is in it! (Allegedly - wasn't everywhere pretty bad in the 1970s?) I got sick of it at points and almost put it down forever after 100ish pages, and yet I ended up finishing it. I don't think I achieved much by doing it, but if I've learnt one thing from this novel if I let people walk all over me for long enough I'll eventually become rich! Maybe that applies to inappropriate (for me) novels walking all over me too. Or I'll meet some nice woman while on jury duty who likes dashing hats and will let me touch her boobs if I take her to Milan.
I can't say I liked it, exactly, but it sure was a book I read and finished. It sure was.
