5.0 out of 5 stars Ellison: A Master of Words
I truly believe that Ellison's condensed prose is one of the best novels I have ever written. If a person says that they do not enjoy this book, it is because they are bad readers who completely missed all the motifs, foils, and statements that Ellison says with this book.

I truly believe that Ellison's condensed prose is one of the best novels I have ever written. If a person says that they do not enjoy this book, it is because they are bad readers who completely missed all the motifs, foils, and statements that Ellison says with this book.

And even after all that, I still feel that I need to read it more, just as to sink into every line. It is a must read, for those who read to the fullest!
