Title: People that don't love this book frighten me
Review: I am not one to "go with the flow" by any means; popular opinion has very little to do with my opinions, or so I would hope. However, the "9s" and "10s" on this list of customer reviews are, in my own opinion, quite deserved. And while I am touched by the story of Toole's tragic life, I am by no means influenced by it in coming to my opinion of how good the book is (although the story certainly enhances my pre-existent disgust with the publishing industry and almost all the pompous, self-important windbags I've ever met who work in it).Having said that, I must also say this: The people who have given this book a low "rating" scare the life out of me, in much the way that someone who continually quotes David Cassidy songs disturbs me. I am grateful, however, that in both cases, there aren't very many people who do, and most of them live in California, not New York.
