Must read. As a avid reader, I recommend this book 100% to adult readers. One of the best books I have ever read.

Fantastic Book. One of my favorite books of all times. I have read it several times and hope to read it again.

A Confederacy of Dunces. Most novelists place one or two "odd" or "eccentric" characters in their books to add comic relief. A Confederacy of Dunces is dedicated entirely to these characters. It made for a laugh out loud reading. Jones always made me smile!

Genius. One of the best books I've ever read, and I've read many. And the sad truth about the author is yet a story unto its self.

With charm beware. I submit to you the warmth of a book lightened in heavy words for the mind to ponder. A joyful read for the local being, and a sound explanation of crazy vs. sane. We may view ourselves as casual minds and normal dependencies, However Igneous lives in his own world that collides with ours. The twist of what is normal, and what is for scene as being normal variably gives us a new understanding that some of us are just plain different. Please don't turn a blind eye to those that are different, but rather embrace them as a new path of thinking and your mind will open new doors of thinking. db

Super. This remains one of the best books I have ever read.

One of the best books I have ever read.. Genius. There is no other word for it.

A Confederacy Of Dunces. Very entertaining. The characters a full of life and memorable. Great read.

Impressive. The book followed through at the end and wrapped everything together nicely. Chapters 13 and 14 are the best.

Awful. Title says it all

Nay-Sayers Beware. To be honest, though this is an amazing and opulent book, to someone who didn't grow up in New Orleans or didn't spend a considerable amount of time living there, much of the subtle humor and obscure references go unnoticed. I find this is the biggest reason for negative preception of thr book. However, though I am native to New Orleans, I have no problem reccommending this to friends and family, regardless of culture or location. Part of understanding the story is to understand the tragic life of John Toole, who took his own life after writing the first drafts of the book. This is a book about New Orleans, and the random yet intertwined people who live in it, but it's also a story about understanding platonic love, acceptance, nepotism, fear, and vunerability of the human mind and soul. Each one of us is Ignatius: brazen, headstrong, misguided, abiet alone. We first hate him, then pity him, then feel deep empathy for him, then cheer him on. In the end, it matters not whether Ignatius or his comrades have changed -- matters is what Toole's story changes in you.

To mr.parnel. To bad this book didn't contain any vampires or werewolves. only explanation I can think of, is that u have no sense of humor, or concept of humor. Dunces is probably the funniest book ever written. Think u need one of those little joke books that were so popular n 3rd grade. You're idea of humor is probably an Adam sandler..will Ferrell movie. No, Tom green or daniel tosh, more you're speed. Or maybe u just needed something 2 color. Great book! BUY IT! U want regret it!!!!!!!!!!! ;)

Not edifying. Did not feel the book was edifying or thought provoking at all. Did not even finish it--better things to do with my time. I just wasted money.

Hot Dogs and Memories. Every time I see a hot dog stand or a kid with a plastic pirate sword I’m reminded of this book. Every time I read this book I feel like I’m back in New Orleans. But there’s something of Proust in Toole’s writing in its ability to not just remind and describe, but to truly conjure memories and transport the reader into the story.

Confederacy of Dunces. Perhaps the finest book ever written

A Confederacy of Dunces. Fantastic. Dark comedy. Shows how difficult it can be dancing to your own beat.

Amusing. Had to read over a few parts again because the imagery was a bit confusing. Started this as an audio book, but was even more confused by all the characters in the beginning. A fun read.
