Book Reviews of Ham on Rye: A Novel
Book Review: Not a Fan
Summary: 1 Stars
I love reading autobiographical type books.............I have seen review after review giving this book 5 stars and statements about how absolutely great this book is. Maybe I just didn't get it but this was one of the most boring books I have ever attempted to read (I stopped reading about half way through the book). I don't get all the hoopla around this book. I was not impressed at all..........If it weren't for the profanity I would have thought this book was written for elementary school students. I'm sorry to all of the fans, but this was AWFUL.
Summary of Ham on Rye: A Novel
In what is widely hailed as the best of his many novels, Charles Bukowski details the long, lonely years of his own hardscrabble youth in the raw voice of alter ego Henry Chinaski. From a harrowingly cheerless childhood in Germany through acne-riddled high school years and his adolescent discoveries of alcohol, women, and the Los Angeles Public Library's collection of D. H. Lawrence, Ham on Rye offers a crude, brutal, and savagely funny portrait of an outcast's coming-of-age during the desperate days of the Great Depression.
