A Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole
slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

i didn't know Storygraph let you rate books zero stars until I read this book. I only finished it because I needed it for a specific challenge, and I hated every minute of it. Ignatius had no redeeming features, and most of the other characters were nearly as bad. It was racist, misogynistic and fat-phobic (or the characters were - but it was never challenged at all). I know it's supposed to be funny, but I didn't find it so.
