## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Best Underrated Author In America
  

*by G***T on Reviewed in the United States on June 7, 2019*

Ishmael Reed should be standard reading in college literature classes. His unique blend of poetry, prose, sound, satire and history make him one of the greatest writers of contemporary America. This novel will have laughing and crying with hysteria. It has stood the test of time and is just as relevant today as it was 45 years ago.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    A very funny satire
  

*by S***E on Reviewed in the United States on April 6, 2000*

This book is a wonderful satire of race relations in the sixties.  It is also extremely funny.  I often found myself laughing out loud as I was reading it.  It provides a nice contrast with much of the African-American literature from this time period.  Its style is a bit intimidating at  first, but after a few pages it becomes easy reading.  I highly recommend  checking it out.

    The Free Lance Pall Bearers
  

*by J***N on Reviewed in the United States on August 27, 2015*

I came across a reference to Ishmael Reed in Frankie Y. Bailey's "African American Mystery Writers", and decided to start with Mr. Reed's first published book. This book gave me much insight and entertainment simultaneously. I have bought another of his books and am looking forward to another captivating read.
