Summary: Damn Funny
Review: The voice this book is written in, the writers choice of words, the Pulp Fiction-esque intertwining of so many different lives, all make this book a great read. The only irritating thing I found was the Quixote-esque way that Ignatius keeps getting away with everything he attempts, and talks his way out of every situation. But read it, you'll love it.

Summary: Tragically Hip?
Review: This book was well written enough to keep my attention -- barely. However, I wish I had not been informed of Mr. Toole's demise until afterward. I couldn't comprehend that this work, as good as it was, was worthy of one's life. Knowledge of Toole's suicide and his mother's quest to get the work published was a compelling story worthy of its own book. Unfortunately, the foreword cast a pall over the book that suggested the novel had to be so great that the author's death was more than it really was -- a tragic suicide -- and therefore worthy of a Pulitzer, no less. I wish Toole had developed the Levys more in my opinion. They were more fascinating than Ignatius, his mom, Santa Battaglia, Angelo and Claude put together. Furthermore, is anyone else of the impression that the comic book store owner on the cartoon show The Simpson's was modeled after our friend Ignatius?

Summary: Toole's no Tool
Review: A brilliantly hilarious frolic through the colorful streets of New Orleans. Toole's (a definite INFP) prose flows with the literary acumen associated with the giants of American letters. Even Ignatius might aprove. Treat yourself right and read this book!

Summary: terrific
Review: If you suffer from a valve inopportunely slamming shut, this is the book for you. There is a two page section which made me laugh so uncontrollably I passed out. I reread it five more times, and although I didn't pass out, I laughed very heartily. Fortuna's wheel brought this to us, so buy it and read it. It is terrific.

Summary: Totally unremarkable
Review: The only interesting thing that kept me going through this book is the fact that so many people loved it. I am quite an omnivorous reader, but this book offers nothing. Even the fart jokes are not funny. I can't understand people (90%!) who professed unrestrained love for this book. Only a little better I can understand those who hated it - probably just a reaction to all the hipe. I did not love or hate this book. This book did not offend me. It bored me.

Summary: A Classic! A Corker! Wow!
Review: This is truly a work of genius. This book has the remarkable ability to bring tears to your eyes while your belly aches from the guffaws. An undercurrent of sad desperation gently counterbalances the hilarity of Ignatius. A perfect companion read to One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest and Sometimes a Great Notion. Wow!

Summary: 12 inches of Pleasure! ! !
Review: Truly memorable in all respects but the image of Ignacious on the street corner selling 12 inches of pleasure is one of the all time great images.

Summary: A great piece of literature!
Review: When I began reading this novel, I was not sure if I would like it. As I read on, I felt myself not being able to put the book down. It keeps you reading on and actually laughing out loud. "What degenerate produced this abortion?" (69) This quote seems to sum up the main character, Ignatius. He is a character that you either love or hate. Toole has done an exceptional job at putting together wild characters that create this extraordinary novel. I loved this book and I would recommend it to everyone.

Summary: ReDonkulus
Review: What a cast of characters! A book where I laughed out loud many times. Gives you a great feel to the mysterious and wacky times of New Orleans in the 60's

Summary: A very Exhilirating and Funny Book!
Review: I must say that A Confederacy of Dunces is one of the most hillarious books I've ever read. The way the author writes about the protagonist and storyline is very interesting. He managed to project the images in the story really well. He described everything in the book very realistic and it is easy for me to understand the content. The book is pretty laid back and easy to read. The humor in the book is very original and I totally enjoyed reading it!
