I'm still not sure what to think of this book. I know for certain that I did not find it funny. the characters were grotesque and depressing caricatures. I'm not sure why it won a Pulitzer Prize. The only good thing I can say about it is that the plot was well woven and almost Dickensian in its complexity.

This book was extremely hyped, but I couldn't get through it - it may be the first book I ever gave up on reading. None of the characters were at all likable, and at some point, I couldn't read any more of it. This seems to be a love-it-or-hate-it book - I'm definitely in the latter category.

I really wanted to hate Ignatious J. Reilly, but I couldn't put this book down because I wanted to see what despicable thing he was going to do or say next. The quintessential New Orleans novel and highly recommended.
