Negative Positive
Title: I really wanted to like this book, but . . .
Review: I read this book a couple of years ago after having read rave reviews of it and an article stating that Toole was nothing short of a genius. I really thought that I'd like it. I tried to like it, but I had to struggle just to get through it. I thought that Ignatius was a fatuous, unlikeable windbag, and after a hundred pages or so I just wished someone would throttle him. What killed this book for me was that I just didn't care about Ignatius. I will try to reread this book in the next few months to see if my opinion has changed. If this book entertains you, great, its just didn't work for me.
Is the review positive or negative?
