Title: Rewardingly Misleading...
Product review: This book is not for the weekend reader. Yeah, it's a hard book, but so are the classics that remain unparalleled today. Some of the passages do require rereading in order to fully understand, but so what?Too many of the reviewers were expecting a twisting plot full of suspense, if you want that, go watch a movie. His writing is some of the best i have read from a living writer.And who cares if Tosches throws himself into the novel, this simply parellels the story of Dante throwing himself into his "Divine Comedy." Also, Tosches must also be recognized for the non-fiction writer that he started as. Thus, incorporating this style into this novel.In closing, this novel has much to offer and must be carefully read to fully understand. I would not reccomend it for light reading, but it would work wonders as supplementary reading to Dante's works.P.S His rant on the publishing industry does more for Faulkner than Oprah ever did.
