Mehso-so

With great regret I declare it only so-so. Very derivative of his earlier and much superior works, right down to the feces-smearing monkey, the girl in a tree, the commune, and the guru. Entirely predictable. None of Boyle‘s trademark black humor—straight up tragedy except for when the midsixties changes to the hippie era. Maybe I would like it if it was the first of his books I‘d read. As it is, it just made me sad. #addiction #sixties

Aimeesue Aw, too bad. Disappointing books from favorite authors just make me sad. 6y
jillrhudy I will say this: the portrayal of parents of a child slipping into addiction, one compromise at a time, is genius. (edited) 6y
jillrhudy This is my 17th Boyle! 6y
Aimeesue @jillrhudy You're Boyling over. 6y
TheNerdyProfessor I just started this one... About 30 pages in and I'm feeling pretty engrossed. I actually think many of Boyle's books paint a bleak portrait for humanity. 6y

I'm actually really excited to read this, even if it is just for school. Though I've only gotten a few pages in, it seems rather captivating. #psychological #allegory #school #sixties

CoffeeNBooks I really, really enjoyed reading this one. I hadn't seen the movie yet when I read it, but I knew Jack Nicholson played the part of McMurphy, so I heard his voice whenever I read McMurphy's dialogue! 😃 7y

Catch-22 wasn't always my favorite book published in the #sixties. The first time I read it, at 18, it seemed like a whole lot of nonsense. After joining the Air Force and serving half of my enlistment, I reread it. The farce made then made a disturbing amount of sense. #aprilbookshowers
