Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Faulkner's "The Bear" is an excellent choice for insomniacs
Review: "The Bear" by william faulkner was an extreamly slow paced book. Many of the sentances ran on for two pages or so, and became incomprehensable. Faulkner seems to ramble on aimlessly, failing to reach distinct points. There were some good double meanings in the text, but if this is what you like, look at James Joyce. This was a failure.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: why you need these cliffs notes
Review: First off, the editorial reviews are on the wrong book, 2nd these are cliffs notes for the short story "the bear" found in Go Down Moses' by william faulkner. As for the "the bear," in my opinion it is a very difficult piece to read and i would recommend cliffs notes for it.its good to attempt to read through the actual book, but its a pain.faulkner trails off on the most myriad of details and takes 2 pages to explain something that could easily take only half a page.i've never used cliffs notes before in my life, but i needed them for this book. This is the opinion of an accelerated junior in high school who just wrote a 13 page term paper on this, so you can determine for yourself if this info. was useful.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: I thought you were talking about another book!!
Review: I thought this was the book that dealt with a bear and a woman forming a relationship. This novel that I am talking about describes very well what it's like. I was quite disappointed with this novel.
