Title: What are other people thinking?
Review: I've read some of the reviews that other people have given this book. I particularly enjoyed the one about you have to be "uncouth or un-intelligent" if you don't like this book. Now, that's not absolutely true. It's only mostly true. For those of you that were wondering, the biblical references and the protracted prose are all parts of a much larger, grander scheme, and if you wail and knash your teeth at these alone, it just shows you didn't really understand what the book was about. If you don't try and enjoy it as both poetry and prose, you will fail miserably at enjoying it - it is an immersion completely unlike anything else. And if you spend a lot of time at it and eventually put it down without finishing, thinking it stupid, you obviously didn't try very hard to understand it. Maybe we can blame people's inability to understand the book rather than blaming the book.
Is the review positive or negative?
