"I'm actually an English major in college, so if I can hardly get through this book then I wonder what the less-hardcore literary types make of it." IguessFaulknerfellasleepduringEnglishclass" "I know it's not PC, but Faulkner's books are unreadable. "I call this book 'blabsalom, blabsalom'" "apparently Faulkner never took those classes on English grammar the rest of us had to take." (as opposed to a 'bent' book which is about the same types of characters, but supports their actions-not so good to read.)" "I'd say this is a 'broken' book.which means it is about characters or issues that lack integrity, honor, virtue, or whatever positive characteristic, but the author does not condone the actions and we see the negative fruit of their negative choices. And the operative word here is 'told.' It comes down to the first fundamental rule of writing: Show don't tell." "My main problem was that the entire story was told through characters simply retelling a story. "I haven't been this disappointed since they canceled Family Guy." "I love Faulkner, but there is no need for the writing style to be like this."
