"I am dyslexic: this is the first book where reading it helped me to understand the power of literature. It demanded my attention like no other had up to that point in my life. Thematically, I am drawn to reading stories of epic journeys."

"This book never fails to intrigue me and touch me to my core. The characters, the philosophies, theories and life lessons are abundant and stunningly simple, too. And the best gift literature could have given us actors is the concept of doing it “for the fat lady.”"

"The Grandmama of southern gothic literature, O'Connor unabashedly tackles faith and faithlessness head on. Grotesque, funny and oftentimes creepy, these stories draw a picture of a society on the brink of moral bankruptcy. I find them more relevant today than ever....even on a desert island."
