Hail Caesar

February 8, 2008 · 1 Comment

Hail Caesar Today, I finally finished reading Hail Caesar by Thu Huong Ha.  Here’s the premise: Seventeen year old, Ceasar doesn’t ever have trouble getting women.  He’s a chick-magnet.  Then one day, he meets Eva (pronounced Ava).  She doesn’t want him.  They develop a  sort-of friendship and he falls hard for her.  She’s interested in someone else. The question is: Will she give him a chance?  Well, you will have to read this book because I am not offering you anything more.  Did I like this book? Did I not?  I don’t know even after ignoring all of the profanity and reference to sex.  Is this book a reflection of today’s generation?  I hope not.  I believe Ms. Ha was fifteen when she began writing this book so it might have been a reflection of her youth.  Although I was disgusted with the attitude of the protaganist, I still found myself rooting for him in the end.
