The book was not at all what I expected. I hated every character and I hated the whole story. Amyjane, my advice is to simply not read it. Seriously. It's not worth your time.Cicadahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14992280321382438701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10937001.post-1144081166846758712006-04-03T10:19:00.000-06:002006-04-03T10:19:00.000-06:00I'm in the middle of Wicked and HATING it.

My mother-in-law, however, loved the book and hated the play.

And yes, I do believe it's worth reading. Also, it's a very quick read, so that is good, too.Cicadahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14992280321382438701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10937001.post-1144035030983120042006-04-02T21:30:00.000-06:002006-04-02T21:30:00.000-06:00Flannery O'Connor always seems to leave me somewhe...Flannery O'Connor always seems to leave me somewhere between depressed and intrigued.

I just like how cruel her world is, as strange as that sounds.....<BR/><BR/>Hmmm... maybe I need to think about this a little more.. and finish it.. maybe then I'll have something more intelligent to offer. <BR/><BR/>I'm not proofreading this I hope it's OK SO HERE IT ISRyanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18358133512222015899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10937001.post-1143993996643376302006-04-02T10:06:00.000-06:002006-04-02T10:06:00.000-06:00I feel the exact same way as you do about Wise Blo...I feel the exact same way as you do about <I>Wise Blood</I>. I hated it, but I simultaneously feel sort of attached to it, protective of it. And I didn't hate it in the way one hates bad fiction; I hated it in the way one hates spiders or moldy leftovers in the fridge. I even wrote a poem about it once because I couldn't get it out of my head. So yeah, I think I understand.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
