I recently finished this book and I have to say it's one of the best books I've ever read. It's also really weird. This book took me on a roller coaster of emotions; I laughed, I cried. There were times when I wanted to rip my hair out and times when I was smiling from ear to ear. It's about a man living in Manhattan who doesn't really know his place in this world, and his adventures with the people he meets. This book has a lot of metaphors that I had to go back and reread several times to fully understand them.
After reading this book, I became a lot more open-minded and accepting. It also taught me to appreciate the little things in life. I wouldn't recommend this book to everyone though, because it made me think a lot, and some people like books that are more straight-forward.
I think telling the reader what kind of emotions to expect was brilliant because if people know they like/don't like it when books make them feel a certain way it makes it a lot easier to decide whether or not to read it! I look forward to reading your book and I liked hearing your opinions about it rather than just a summary.
ReplyDeleteTo me this book sound like the perfect book to keep me going. Since you described it as "a roller-coaster of emotions" it looks like it really has it's ups and downs. Books that have things like that make it easier to read because you really start to get a feel for the characters. You did a good job describing it:)
