One of my most unpopular literary opinions is my dislike of this book. I wrote somewhere that it was overwrought and felt like being trapped on a bad carnival haunted house ride, going round and round. Or like a Marlboro ad written by Dean Koontz.
Of course there's some great imagery, and the themes are dark and based on real events. But I thought it might have worked better as a poem.
I was booed out of the room. I just didn't get it. The pain and boredom of reading it reflected the pain and boredom of the subject, etc, but I remained steadfast.
You, however, make an excellent case for it, and that means something coming from me.
