Search - The Moviegoer

Interesting book... and rated by some as one of the best novels of the 20th century. I wouldn't go that far.

I liked this enough, but to me it seemed a little strange that it got such strong kudos and that it won an award. I found it a bit hard to follow at times, some of the characters didn't seem to be well-defined so I'd find myself paging back to re-read parts to make sure I didn't miss a critical point.

Very strange book. I sought it after it was mentioned in another book that I thoroughly enjoyed, The Year of Fog. I don't enjoy a book that sends me to google on every other page. It's great to look up new words, but this author's references were too obscure to make sense in context. Good thing this was a short book as I almost gave up several times.
