bookchace 's review for:

The Sound and the Fury by William Faulkner
3.0

I liked this book, but I did not love it. Benjy’s disorienting lack of time-perception and thoughts, Quentin’s obsession with time and never-quieting head, Jason’s disregard for time and all around him. This book is one that after a second reading, I may rate it higher. For my first reading, though, I cannot honestly say that this book was incredibly enjoyable. Despite that, I do now see how monumental Faulkner’s influence is on modern literature. This book was overall a beautiful read, and I’m glad to have taken it on.
