The Heart is Deceitful Above All Things

by J. T. LeRoy

Rated 1 stars

“J.T. LeRoy is a made up identity--but even if he wasn't--the book is horrible.

...The sad truth is– the stories of the [real] lives of abused children were taken advantage of and mocked by this pointless, empty, and just plain bad book written by a non-talented writer. I resented having my face forcibly pushed into the foul smelling feces contained within the text. That is the best way I can think of describing the feeling I had as I was reading.

I hated it. I am not going to read Sarah and I urge all of you not to read these books either–unless you are glutton for punishment.

Endgame / Act Without Words

by Samuel Beckett

Rated 2 stars

“It may have been a mistake to read The Road by Cormac McCarthy before
reading this play but in any case--I simply did not enjoy this.

The characters don't seem real or human to me. Yes, there is little or no reason for happiness
in the existence they find themselves in -- but during times of struggle, we as human beings can still
show compassion and believe in hope. There is little or none within the main characters.

It's bleak but meaningless.”

The Road

by Cormac McCarthy

Rated 5 stars

“I have not finished this book yet but I have already been moved by it.
A few times in public -I'd become teary eyed and would have to place it down.
I think this will easily become an important piece of literature -not only of this time--but
for future generations. It will cause readers to both weep and feel uplifted.”
