Title: Easy Read with Insight!
Review: Although I have not read "The Day of the Locust," I did use "Miss Lonelyhearts" for a senior essay. It is very short novel (more of a novella, I suppose), but one that literature lovers are sure to drink up like mad. Best of all, readers will walk away with a deeper appreciation of life.The book follows Miss Lonelyhearts (but who else?), a male advice columnist who falls into a depression, egged on by the pitiable letters of his followers. Even though his actions may make you question his morals, Miss Lonelyhearts still triumphs in capturing our attention. Through his miserable life--which, in fact, could be any one of ours--we learn what the purpose of exisiting really is.Try this. If you end up despising "Miss Lonelyhearts," you can always read "Locust." Love it or hate it, this novel will undoubtedly get you thinking, wondering, pondering. Carpe diem!
