Read as a requirement for my Modernism class. 

This is not my favourite Woolf I have read. The characters didn't feel as fleshed out as they are in her other works. The chapters where it is just the plays weren't as interesting as the actual characters. This novel (or novella, maybe) just fell flat compared to her other writings. Can't say this was super enjoyable.
