Book Reviews of Halls of Fame
Book Review: "Collage is the slowest route between two points."
Summary: 5 Stars
That's my favorite line from an essay by John D'Agata. He just visited my school, and his reading has inspired me to finish this book weeks ahead of time for class. I never thought I would get into a book like this before, but I'm loving it! He makes the werid ways it's written in easy to digest, but clear why he's doing it. If you know anything about the poor lonely guy named Henry in his book, then you know why the essay about him called "Collage History of Art" is written in all fragments. Collage maybe the slowest route between two points, but I'm so happy now it is! I hope the book never ends. Thank you!! (oh, and he's a cutie! :)
