I actually went into this book thinking I would hate it. But the characters are well developed, the plot ties in so nicely at the end, and along the way, it's just really funny. Every character is a hyperbole, and I loved following all of them as they stumbled along.

One of the most hilarious books I've ever read! A classic in Southern literature and classic of American literature. The author was far too gifted to have died so young.

I really loved this book, and I'm glad I finally read it. That being said, there were times by the second half when I was AWFULLY tired of Ignatius! But I suppose that's the point. It wasn't a "page-turner" for me. It took me longer than I hoped. Still, satisfying and unpredictable ending, hilarious characters, situations, and dialogue. Great read!
