Review of Ulysses by James Joyce

       I know I'm not supposed to say this but I'll come right out with it.  I flat out didn't like Ulysses.  Perhaps I just didn't get it or something, but best I could tell its about nothing.  Thats right nothing at all.  I've seen the book on pretty much every list like this that I've ever looked at so I figured it must be worth a read.  A reviewer talked about ties to Homers Odyssey and praised the genious of Joyce.  I tried to read it and just couldn't get through it.  About 6 months later I read another review talking about how Ulysses had the best ending of any book ever written.  Finally I sat down and read it.  Not all in one sitting obviously.  To be kind I'll say that I was unimpressed.
