Tom Gray’s Reviews > The Tin Drum > Status Update

One of the major features of this novel is its wordplay. I've seen a few plays on words but not very much. Some of them were quite funny I suppose that most of them could ahve been lost in the translation from German
This is supposed to be a classic novel but so far I have not seen very much insight. I have read much better novels. It appears to be trying very hard to be shocking and maybe it was 50 or 60 years ago.
