cloudisky 's review for:

As I Lay Dying by William Faulkner

4.0

---

so, i did like this, but i actually wanted more! i’d really like to hear jewel’s point of view (he, darl, and cash were my favorite characters).

Spoiler

and i was expecting the author to tell of when they actually buried addie but they didn’t? and the ending? why?

i think this is a book i'd definitely have to dive deep into to get a fuller understanding (i used sparknotes to interpret some things) but i just don’t feel like doing that right now… otherwise, it was a well written book; i loved the depiction of religion and how the characters differed in the way they thought of what a christian is/how important religion is to them, and how they all dealt with their grief in different ways. the characterization was what really makes this book beautiful too...
