Vanessa I am going to be discussing about The Crying of Lot of 49 and about tow opposing ideas. Mrs. Dalloway from New York Review Books had an interest in writing a review the book and he said that when the book appeared in 1966, most of the reviews dismissed it. He explains that once he read it more then once he slowly started to understand it. Also his favorite part of the book was when the main character which is Oedipa Mass was somehow being drifted from reality and being put in a new world she alone had created. Also i took it apron myself to investigate another author, Ruthless Review by Jason he had some pretty interesting comments about this book. Jason says " this book was about 200 pages long and is pretty easy to read." He says it is a pretty easy book to read once you get a notion towards it. He says it is a perfect image of Thomas because he himself is a difficult person to understand. The reason why it is a good book is because it is so complicated to read and it has hidden meanings towards every text. " As if the dead really do persist, even in a bottle of wine" ( Thomas Pynchon, "The Crying of Lot 49") Thomas try's and says that even the dead are dangerous that even they ante sneaky and never stop. However, these three authors are very superior i can't help but have my own review of the book. I think that this book is genoise because it isn't just a straight forward book and is simple to figure out. This particular book take some critical thinking skills. A person would have to take time and practice reading this over and over to understand it. Every word has a hundred meanings to it it can mean something special to me but absolutely nothing to others. This book is very diverse and that is why i give a good review and want other readers to look into this book so their minds may expand.


Feliks Line breaks! Good God, where are the line breaks? We can't read a 'wall of text' like this!
