I think for me, I rated it this because I felt the style worked really well, but I just didn't understand the stories that well. I do think that this needs several reads in order to feel more informed about what is happening with each story. I am going to come back to this and re-read after some time so I can annotate and understand the deeper meaning of the stories more. I think I did appreciate the way in which Joyce was trying to convey the mundanity of Irish life in Dublin and I think the snapshots of different lives that were provided through the short stories demonstrated the variety of lives people led. I think I just need to get my head around the text more in order for me to rate this higher.
