Rotten Tomatoes

 The characters in Walker Percy's "The Moviegoer," are the first time I've never liked any of them. None of them had any redeeming features.  Well, what do I know.  It's only a story.

The main character, Binx, was a dud. I keep thinking that there should be more to this story but if there were, I missed it. It was an easy read. I liked the descriptive detail, especially when Percy was describing a person. His diction is precise. I really got a flavor of the south in the 1960s.

I guess that's why this book is considered an existential classic.
