I found this book interesting, but very outdated. I had a hard time getting past the gender stereotypes and how women were portrayed. I try to keep perspective and understand that the book was written 50 years ago, but it really affected my enjoyment of the book.

a classic

I first read this book in high school (class of '75), and have read it every few years since. I love the biblical references - I'm sure that they make religious people uncomfortable, as they should...

Lives up to the hype, in a way

Good book, meanders in some places though. It will surprise you in the end. While reading, take particular care to consider that many view Jubal Harshaw as the main character of the book, even though he isn't introduced immediately. His character was possibly the best developed from the book.
