it was really good, but it will only reach transcendent peaks if you are like Suttree. Most aren't. They wont get it. They will feel alienated by it, and therefore it isn't 'The Great American Novel,' because it is too singular.

Also I forgot to say it is a weak weaving together of short stories of vastly varying qualities, and it suffers as a "slam compilation." Moreover, Suttree's chief injury is a weak and stereotyped motivator, and his actions subsequent are more stereotyped than Catcher in the Rye's plot.

Can you write that more cogently? This is a lot of words for not much information. What about Suttree is stereotyped specifically? Which "short stories" are bad and which are good, and why?
