Uprimne zaujimave citat nieco kde literally ani jeden z hlavnych charakterov neni likeable ale tak thats naturalizmus for you ig. Ja som potom nakoncinrealne mala najradsej toho hursthwooda aj ked on bol asi najhorsi z nich kebo bol aspon potrestany a bol uolny chudakt tak mi ho bolo luto. 

I assumed that Sister Carrie would be all parlour scenes and fallen women. It totally isn't! It's awesome! So refreshing to read a book from 1900 that has a nuanced, open view of unmarried women. No wonder this was scandalous when it was first published.
slow-paced

Had to read it for university and just found it boring and way too long.
