This book is considered a modern classic and a friend of mine warmly suggested reading this. I do like Richler's writing style overall. However, this book lacks coherent plot and the main character (Duddy Kravitz) is not only very unlikable and rude, I also had a hard time really following along. Overall this book was a good read but a somewhat mediocre story.
