I really didn't like this for the first 50 pages. I was confused with the characters and what on earth was going on, so checked out wikipedia to get a bit of an idea. That worked for me, and I went on to really enjoy the rest. I'm not sure whether others found it funny in places but I did! I will go on to read Faulkner's others.
Also, here's the link to Oprah's website about this book. It has a free bookmark, a quiz, and other great info about the book.
