Parts of it felt like a slog and other parts were super entertaining. I like the project of looking back through his own memory to tell a story. I’m glad to have read this and am curious enough to keep going.
would be too mean to give 2 stars after how beautifully swann's love was portrayed, the rest of the book was just ok

More like a 4.5, but alas some of Swann in Love was boring as hell to me so that's just something that requires a minor demotion. I'm so excited for the next volume. Such a stunning examination of the ephemerality of memory and place, and a very strange, tortured take on love, love that seems to be so filled with vanity and egotism, a masochistic clamoring to be depended on that it's warped beyond traditional repair. All of Combray is stunning. Impressionistic descriptions, art references galore that never implicate pretension, it's all here.
