A review by jsh626
Homer & Langley by E.L. Doctorow
1.0
While quirky, unusual books aren't always my cup of tea, there are some that I've enjoyed from time to time. The key (for me) to enjoying that type of book is knowing ahead of time that it is a quirky, unusual book. After enduring half a book of run-on sentences, terrible grammar, randomly dropped characters, and confusing musings, I says to myself, I says "Ah, it's one of THOSE books."
So, in case you *want* to read this book (and I don't recommend it), know going into it that it is the rambling remembrances of a blind, deaf man who is slowly starving to death in a dilapidated 5th Avenue house because his crazy, hoarder, caretaker brother has been crushed to death somewhere in the house by a booby-trap he setup to catch imaginary burglars. Maybe knowing that will make this book more 'enjoyable.' --wink,wink--
