A masterpiece of modern English literature.

The characters' inner thoughts and desires are presented in a unique way, while their feelings can be shared by the reader. It is also interesting how one can relate to both Mr. and Mrs. Ramsay at the same time, who act and think in different ways, but still love each other.

The book is full of symbols that hide questions about many different layers of human existence, thus becoming timeless.

Finally, Woolf is a conductor of human emotions, which is clearly evident in "To The Lighthouse".

Highly recommended.

Just not my style… I once picked this up in my twenties to prepare for my teacher exam and now returned to finish it almost 20 years later.

I can recognize the great writing and love some of the streams of consciousness written by the author, but overall, this one is just too many streams of consciousness flowing in and out together for me to keep my interest.

I’m guessing if I read it with a group or for a class I would enjoy it much, much more.

this was just so long winded. and i know that was the point of the whole story but i think some of the parts of the story wasn't needed. 

but im stupid so. also i thought this would come to more, but alas, me think no properly. but its a good classic tho. good read.
