Book Reviews of A Good Man Is Hard to Find and Other Stories
Book Review: "Good Man is Hard to Find" is one of a kind
Summary: 3 Stars
Flannery O'Conner's ten short stories each offer a unique perspective on southern life during the mid Twentieth Century. Her strong Catholic beliefs are obvious through the reoccurring theme of being saved by grace. Whether she shares this idea through a grandmother reaching out to the murderer of her child, or a new groom trying to help a young runaway, the concept of charity is continually displayed. However, don't be deceived by the religious themes. This book is not gently written. Many of the stories have violent or disturbing endings that are vital to the understanding of the story. The violence would probably distract a young audience and shield them from the deeper meaning O'Conner tries to convey. Her message would be completely misunderstood.
At first, O'Conner's seriousness took me off guard. Only in a second review did I realize that the stories are excellent works to analyze, and I began to really enjoy them.
