From the time of its publication, Ulysses has attracted controversy and scrutiny, ranging from an obscenity trial in the United States in 1921 to protracted textual "Joyce Wars." The novel's stream of consciousness technique, careful structuring, and experimental prose-replete with puns, parodies, and allusions-as well as its rich characterization and broad humor have led it to be regarded as one of the greatest literary works in history.

A wonderful book yes, but very challenging to read... hard to follow in places and he jumps around from descriptions of things back to the story and really hard to follow conversations between the main characters. You can't leave it for a day without reading because you will loose the thread of Joyce's thought and the story. Often you need to sit and reflect on what has happened or has been said before continuing. This, in itself is challenging because you can't read this book quickly... you need to pay attention while you read, so don;t read this book when you're tired or just want to vege out! Pay attention and focus! It's really worth it, its so very 'texturely' rich!
