Title: How this became a "classic" is puzzling to me
Review: I had not read this book since I was a teen and my Son mentioned he recently read it & loved the book. I picked up a copy and figured since he generally makes good recommendations to me, it would be worth reading again. WRONG!I suppose if you like reading about someone who has some "issues" or difficulty fitting in with peers, this book could appeal to you. That being said, the story just rambles, doesn't seem to have an actual story line, just randomness. I was neither inspired nor entertained by it. The story left me wondering who determines what is an "American Classic". Half way through the book, I was hoping the story would suddenly grab me. Regretfully, that never happened. I would recommend not wasting your time (or money) on this book. When I finished the book, the only positive feeling I had was now I could begin reading another book. I truly wondered why a publisher would have agreed to publish this book.
Is the review positive or negative?
