I am not sure if I am going to write a full review of this on my blog or not. I am in the middle of reading a more academic book on O'Connor that I really like (Subversive Gospel). And I thought I really needed to read one of O'Connor's novels since I had only read one of her short story collections previously so that I would better understand O'Connor.

Now I think I am going to finish Subversive Gospel and then read The Violent Bear it Away and Everything that Rises Must Converge and then come back and re-read Wise Blood.

I listened to the audiobook because that is what I had (picked it up on sale a while ago.) But while the narration isn't bad, I always felt like I was missing something. I think that is more about the writing style than the audiobook.

Update: I did write up some thoughts on my blog http://bookwi.se/wise-blood/
