Not as bad as I was expecting from the other reviews. Can be hard to read at times but otherwise okay!

Too desultory

I have read this book twice, appreciating it more the second time around. Much of it is complicated and over my head, I think it would be beneficial to take a study course to fully understand appreciate Joyce.

I am just not a fan. I forced myself to keep reading this.

I had to push myself so hard to finish this. The stream-of-consciousness writing format just isn't for me.

I tried my best to finish this, but just didn't see the point since I couldn't grasp any type of plot or story.

Not for everyone, true but worth it if you have the time to tackle the thing. 'Notes for Joyce' by Don Gifford is almost necessary for most people to get all the nuances and is pretty much the only companion piece you'll need.

Not my style of book. I know that many people out there have a high regard for this book, but I found myself lost in what was going on many times with the stream of consciousness. I did find it interesting the number of phrases or slang that are still applicable today.
