Title: Funny, but.....
Review: I had heard so much hype about how great this book was - a "bastion of great literature" masquerading as a comic masterpiece - so was quite excited to read it. I ended up finding the book funny....but that's about it. True, the main character was well-developed and brimming with pathology and the story kept me interested enough, but I was expecting some earth-shattering climax, a heartwrenching denouement....I mean, it did win a Pulitzer after all, no?The bottom line - the characters were funny (though their personal interactions not as satisfying as I had hoped), the plot moderately entertaining and the ending a little bit of a let down. I would recommend this if you just wanted a laugh or two, but wouldn't make it your next "must read".
