One of the best first-person narratives I've read, especially given the time period and gender of the narrator. No, I didn't like the guy, but I liked the book, and admired Shreve's ability to present Nicholas Van Tassel's life solely from his point of view. The reader never forgot that you were reading a diary, which is naturally biased. I found myself rehashing situations in my head, contemplating what "really" happened (Etna's perspective, Clara's perspective, imagining an objective perspective). I thought it was very well done!

Actually, I'm done with Huck Finn, not on page 999. They really need a "Done" button on Goodreads. I read the original version complete with the word, "nigger." I think we all are mature enough to understand all aspects of its use and not fear of offending or being offended. It was in common usage in the past. Get over it. But - It was an excellent story right up to the point near the end when Tom Sawyer came into the picture. Clemts is a hell of sa story-teller. I recommend it if you haven't read it.

I did enjoy this book despite it's very real flaws. I have to admit that I have a grunging admiration for Williams. I have long searched for this book since I was first introduced and then mesmerizied by All Hallows Eve way back in college. Since then, piece by piece my love for his work was built not just by his strange novels, but by his theology. What is there not to admire? Williams went his own way and created his own theology, even recreating the word theology in a way. This book is about order. The tarot cards of the title represent order. Laid out as they are, but that is incomplete. There are evil doers who want to possess the secrets of this order. However, order is not what you think it is. Certain forces do disrupt orders, fools of a sort. In that disruption order is restored by love, love for family love for sons and even love for those who don't deserve it. This is presaged early on in a wierd way by a character who corrects a bumper sticker that says, "Love God or go to hell". She corrects it by saying "Love or be in hell." This sums up Williams' strange and idiosyncratic 'theology' and is the theme of this book. Two gypsies Aaron and Henry see the tarot cards are a literal representation of order. By their discovery of an 'original' deck, they think they can control the universe. What they don't understand is how it moves and what makes it move, which is the figure of the fool. Now, this plot isn't just what the book is about it is an attempt to explain what is unexplainable. As such, this is its drawback as it tries page after page to explain what resists being put into words. A good novel requires action and doesn't do well with exposition, especially a novel that wants to an entertainment which this clearly does want to be. That, and it really doesn't make sense. I wonder if Williams is trying to understand as he writes and here it fails him. When he talks about the nature of love, he does so in such a way to make it truly come alive. When he writes about what disrupts the universal order, he is on much less firm ground. One remembers what Picassio said of William Blake, it was explained to the master that Blake was drawing pictures of what he alone could see. Picassion said, "he should have seen them twice." Williams would have been wise to heed that.

Hank Thompson, ex high school baseball player, agrees to take care of his neighbor's cat and things go to hell from there. Next thing you know he gets beat up and loses a kidney. And that's just the first chapter or two. Things get worse, much worse. The narrative voice is hip, irreverent and dead-on. There's lots of violence, Tarantino-style. The movement is fast-paced and unrelenting. I would never have picked up this book if it had not been a free Kindle download. But I'm glad I read it and I would recommend it as a quick and fun read---as long as you don't take the violence too seriously.

Amazing book. I was very puzzled when I started reading it because I've heard many contradictory opinions about it. The truth is that it is really philosophical and I was transformed - I felt very relaxed and spiritual while reading it. I'm even thinking to read the Steppenwolf soon.
