Title: Someone, explain to me what I missed
Product review: I heard an interview with a man who recently released a documentary about Charles Bukowski. I got so enthused I bought several of his books. Almost all of the reviews I read were glowing. "LIFE CHANGING!" "MASTERPIECE!" "AWE INSPIRING!" Well, it was inspiring, but I'm not sure exactly what it inspired me to do. I read this book and felt nothing. No, I take that back. I felt like I was totally "not" getting the point or the genius. I didn't like the characters. I didn't like the story (I'm a government employee and I couldn't even relate to it!). But, I persevered and finished the book. Only to be left with one burning question....HUH? Seeing as how everyone seems to love Bukowski, I'm trying another one of his books. I'm giving him another shot. But I'm just not feeling it. Maybe it's a male/female difference of perspective. I just don't know.
