Too much has been written by others for me to add anything further. A parable on violence and the lie of American Manifest Destiny - but I wouldn't fault others who just cannot find any merit or enjoyment in it, either. I agree with everyone's criticisms; even if they're all true, the reasons why those criticisms exist is why this is a Great American Novel.
