Call It Sleep
Call It Sleep
Author: Henry Roth
Genre: Literature & Fiction
Book Type: Paperback
reviewed interesting, but would not read again on + 15 more book reviews
Helpful Score: 2


i found this novel to be difficult to get into, and i would skip entire passages because of the way they were written. parts of it are written to imitate what's going on in the mind of a young boy, but i do not remember my mind every doing anything of the sort when i was that age. the story, itself, is interesting, which is how i made it to the end. there are definite twists and turns, but i did not care for the manner in which the author wrote the story.
