Book Reviews of A Confederacy of Dunces
Book Review: Just read it. How it escaped me all these years? Not sure. Had a friend recommend it, then I devoured it.
Summary: 5 Stars
Ignatius J. Reilly is the best main character I've come across. It took me around 50 pages or so for that "ah ha" moment. Once you start to place all of Ignatius's idiosyncrasies, you're in for some very special laughs. I was depressed when the book had to end, because I was simply enjoying too much, and have never read anything quite like it. You may also enjoy Charles Bukowski, if you like this book.
If you have tastes that differ from top 20 best seller list, 5th grade reading level stuff, this is for you. If you really want to know that this book is great, give it to someone who only reads Dan Brown type novels, and they will despise this...then you know you've got something great!
