Helpful Score: 1

I have honestly never read a book quite like this one, and with that being said, I am not sure that I will ever experience one quite like it again. It is absolutely fantastic. Since I am from the South and live very close to New Orleans, I was able to really visualize the characters and setting. Toole got it quite right when he created the kooky characters in this book. I can really see some of these folks hanging out in the French Quarter!
When I read what the book was about, I wasn't really sure that I could read a whole book about a momma's boy with a flatulence problem, but Toole made this story line work better than most other books I have ever read. It has truly become an instant favorite for me!
