A review by elmeco
The Living End by Curtis White, Stanley Elkin

3.0

The synopsis of this book tries to sell this as "A contemporary Divine Comedy"... Not even close. Started off REALLY great... and then went nowhere... Loved Part I, Ellerbee was such an interesting character that Elkins built up and went nowhere with, no closure either for the poor guy. Part II was a confusing mess. Part III was better, the dialogue with God, Jesus, and Mary was fun, very Saramago-esque. That's about it...
