Before I started reading I had some suspicions as to whether this might not be the stuffy, snobby sort of thing only pretentious people would enjoy, but no, immediately I was captivated by the voice and writing style. It’s genuinely funny and has some serious range already. I can already tell this is a genuine masterwork, and the translation is stellar. Or maybe I am just that sort of person who would enjoy it…

Enjoying this much more than I thought I would. The writing is pure genius.And it’s actually fun to read, too. Not finding it too difficult (yet), though episode 3 was more research than reading. Even if the many of the erudite allusions, specific Dublin geography, puns, and parallels to the Odyssey go over my head, there’s often something funny, playful, or strikingly beautiful to keep my simple synapses firing
