The title story is the best of the collection, in my opinion! The Misfit sure was an unsettling character! The second story, "The River", was also quite good. After those, I wasn't really a big fan. Lots of strange people, making odd decisions, and almost deliberately doing things wrong just because. I couldn't understand the actions and reactions of the majority of the characters herein, and felt no connection to the worlds that they were inhabitants of. Mostly, I just wondered what was wrong with all of them! To all of the stories credit, they are pretty creepy and odd which kept my uneasiness factoring into my decisions to keep on reading them. A strange collection this was. An exemplary short story collection that has become a classic. The stories are cinematic, dark, funny, deeply Catholic, violent, grotesque, shocking, and truthful to the bizarre realty of human nature. Sadly, Flannery O'Connor was a product of her times, and her overt racism can't be erased away. She is still one of my favorite writers for the way she paints a scene and for her use humor, and her sly eye. But, reader beware, yes these stories will make you chuckle. But a few will make you mighty uncomfortable too. Favorites: A Good Man is Hard to Find, Good Country People, The River, and The Temple of the Holy Ghost.
