That's not to say I disliked it, I just can't remember what lead me to purchase a copy. <br /><br />I knew nothing of Graham Greene's reputation as a "Catholic novelist" before I read the book, so was quite surprised when "miracles" started happening in the third act. I felt blind-sided. I somehow expected the strident atheism of the narrator to be the abiding theme. <br /><br />I'd say your assessment matches mine: a book to admire but not a book to enjoy in every way.mhwitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01692644684366966097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10779294.post-27542610191260465792009-07-10T05:51:49.217-07:002009-07-10T05:51:49.217-07:00i've always had a really hard time with grahm ...i've always had a really hard time with grahm greene. everything is just so...dry. and kind of dull. and most of his protagonists are pretty unlikeable which means that i have a hard time caring about them. and don't really want to spend much time with them. <br /><br />in other words: kudos for making it through an entire novel.dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06769697352301199658noreply@blogger.com
