After
reading the book “The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay” for class, I
have to say that the book wasn’t as bad as I expected. Some parts of the story
did highly irritate me because the story didn’t go the way I wanted it to. I
feel really bad for Joe because throughout almost the whole book, it seems like
the world is out to get him. First his father dies from sickness, then his
brother drowns at sea, and then his mother dies in a concentration camp. I do
not blame him for running off and leaving Rosa behind, especially since she
didn’t tell Joe that she was pregnant. Joe did start to irritate me when he
took so long to come back to see his family. I understand that he didn’t want
to face Rosa and Sammy, but he had abandoned his son, Tommy, for almost twelve
years. The story kind of ends as a cliff hanger because Sammy has just run off
to California and Joe has just bought Empire. Overall, the book was good. It
leaves you guessing what will happen next and does some unexpected turns that
leads the reader wondering how could that have happened.
