"Funniest Book Ever!!!"

A CONFEDERACY OF DUNCES is decidedly a modern classic. If you know New Orleans, it's like being there. If you don't know New Orleans, you'll finally know what that corner of heaven is like! Full of the best dunces on earth.
What a truly brilliant piece of literature this is. Ignatius J Reilly is an original, head-scratching, mind bending character that brings this turn paging story to life. After reading a few boring books, this novel was a breath of fresh air, as I've never come across anything like it. The style of writing is reminiscent of a few other writers I've encountered, most probably heavilly influenced by this book, but the story and characters that surround Ignatius are brilliantly interwoven to a conclusion that somehow makes sense. This story easilly could have drifted into nihilistic ramblings, much like a Brett Easton Ellis book, but thankfully this author is much more talented and clever.
If you are looking for something that is delightfully fresh, check this novel out.
What an enjoyable tragicomic story of gargantuan (literally!) proportions. There are hints of realism creeping into the book here and there, but overall, there are so many things absurdly hilarious, bizarrely humorous that it's impossible to not enjoy this classic!

Very little I can say that hasn't been said in so many reviews but this is one of the most enjoyable books I've ever read. I bought it many years ago after reading the story of Toole's suicide and his mothers quest to have her son's book published. Walker Percy, (another absolute favorite of mine) did readers a great service when he championed the book because that led to its publication.
Funny, well written and poignant.
I hope all Kindlers will request that ACOD be on Kindle soon.
As a native New Orleanian it was easy for me to identify with the places and characters in this book. Ken Toole captures New Orleans and its people in a delightfully pleasing comedic way. You will not be sorry for adding this work to your collection.
"best book ever!!!"

this book is so original, hilarious, at times a little heartbreaking just because you can feel the character's raw emotions. so well done, a must read
