Book Review of A Confederacy of Dunces

A Confederacy of Dunces
reviewed on


I can't really tell you if I liked this book or not. The main character is strange and unappealing yet I had to finish the book.

I think part of my interest was because he is a writer and so is my daughter. So I wanted to support him, yet did not like him very much. I felt sorry for him because I disliked him so much.

Yet, I needed to continue reading it nevertheless. Maybe it is kind of like needing to look at the car wreck; you don't really want to see it, but you stare anyway.
