It turned out to be one of the greatest novels I have ever read. <em>Elmer Gantry</em>, published in 1927, was so much more complex, so much more biting and chilling in its description of the worst parts of the American psyche, so much more timeless, than...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/39353938">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Sinclair Lewis' writing always sticks with me. Perhaps it is because he so wonderfully savaged American culture, laying out all its ills, prejudices, and hypocrisies as a feast for the reader.

What is amazing to me is that this satire on evangelic fervor remains so timely.  Elmer Gantry provides insight to the American culture that remains fresh even to this day.

    <body><![CDATA[This book had been on my reading list for a long time, but never made it to the top until Ginalie gave it to me &amp; suggested I read it. I had thought I would enjoy it.

    <body><![CDATA[A great work of satire.  Lewis' book is a wonderful Voltairan attack on religon that spares no one from its fiery Ire.  Lewis was a great satirist, a thing that is lacking in today's literature.]]></body>
