Interesting story...purchased after hearing a review of this classic and wondering how I missed reading it in school. I appreciate it now than I would have when I was younger.

The style of narration is a little difficult to get used to. Faulkner uses first-person narration, but jumps from one character to another. Overall, this is helpful in putting the full story together, but it is a little off-putting at first. The actual story is fairly good and takes the reader through a range of emotions. There are several incidents that can viewed as either funny, scary, or heart-wrenching, depending on who is telling the story. Very interesting read overall.
I haven't started reading it yet but the quality of the book is great. I'm still reading Moby Dick.

I had to buy this book for an assignment in my class. It is unlike any other novel I have ever read. Usually a novel only offers a viewpoint from one or two characters, but in this novel, every character's viewpoint is represented. Sometimes this takes away from the progression of the novel and the reader feels like they are trapped in the same scene four or five times, but it expands the simple thought of a one sided viewpoint. It would be inaccurate to say that the reader gets lost in the story, but the novel does have some points that have a drastic change overall depending on what chapter is being read.
This book was really good. I like the writing style of Faulkner and reading this book made it easy for me to understand why it was required in my English class. I purchased this book for a college course and we were assigned excerpts from the book but the story was one that pulls you in so I ended up reading the entire book and found it to be a very enjoyable experience.
