Summary: dark revelations from a priest
Comment: updike's dark novel of a priest's innermost revelations through his life's journey. not an upbeat read by any means

Rating: 5
Summary: you people are crazy
Comment: This is a fabulous book. It marries esoteric philosophy and ultimate, base humanity better than any book I've ever read. This combination gives it the ammunition to truly shoot to the core of a reader. And I found it quite easy to read.

Rating: 3
Summary: Sex and the clergy
Comment: The priest Thomas Marshfield writes what amounts to a confession whilst undergoing therapy.

Marshfield (not surprisingly seeing as this is an Updike novel) is a highly-sexed individual - indeed, it is doubtful whether he worships God or sex more. Much of the novel is Marshfield's internal dialogue as he tries to reconcile his obsession with sex with religious doctrine.

I thought that "A Month of Sundays" was a curious work - written at times with wit (which was a bit hit-and-miss) and word play (which I thought was often strained). I thought too, perhaps wrongly, that Updike had been influenced by Nabokov's style of writing.

Although this is a short book, I felt that it tended to drift in places and got weaker towards the end. Interesting, but not one of Updike's best.
