I thought this was the best book we've read since V for Vendetta.
I heard a lot of discussion about the mom, and how we get a little closure on her. That is certainly true to a certain extant. Both the mother and father still don't quite resolve the issue that they seem to have with their kids, both still seem distant, and both still don't resolve the fact that their relationship with their children is borderline abusive, neglect, violence etc.
I haven't thought it over enough, but I am still a left a little vague about what the Ulysses connection is in the book. I think it has more to do with the whole not taking any English classes, and then the symbolism between Stephen and Poldy as a spiritual relationship rather than a biological relationship, which seems more like Alison and her father's relationship at the end of the book.
I'll mull it over a little more though.
