I just finished reading His Illegal Self. It was a good, fast summer read but nothing more than that. I'm not compelled to pick up his other books. The ending was cheesy (it ends happily in my opinion) and overall, the novel doesn't elicit any sympathy in any of the characters (but they didn't annoy me either). However, I did like how the first person narrative would switch back and forth between Che (the child that is taken) and Dial (the woman who is sent to take him); As I Lay Dying did a similar thing.I'm ready for a classic again...
