Title: I Guess I missed Something
Review: I have read many books, some the best or most thought provoking ever to be put to paper. Others were found to be the worst waste of tree bark that one could imagine. But in all the books I have read, never have I questioned ones reason for being. I am a firm believer of the need of books that awake ones mind to the less then perfect American picture of life. I had never read or heard of Mr. Selby before this book. His constant pounding on the Homosexual theme I found tiresome. I thought he had something in his story called, "Strike", but found it also dragged down into the mire of dogma.Even in the darkest of stories taken from life there is some hope. Selby writes one of the most brutal, hateful novels I have ever read. I may not agree with a homosexual lifestyle, but I have found them to be people who live, their lives in the dignity of their choice.If this book was meant to do anything but degrade them I guess I missed it.
Is the review positive or negative?
