My goodness. I'm glad I didn't read this in college like I was supposed to. It was depressing. I see so much of myself in Jude. We are so alike. And I feel like life is treating me mostly the same.

Regardless of the sheer, overwhelming sadness of the book, I'm glad I read it. Now I can put it on the shelf and forget it.

hardy’s writing is perfectly enticing. his prose is delicate and rich. however i found the characters in this novel disagreeable after around halfway through. sue was generally speaking annoying. however it really picked up when jude 2 did his thing ! that had me shocked i must say. i did not care for any of the characters and it saddened me somewhat that jude abandoned his intellectual passions time and time again.

Ugh. Such an exhausting, frustrating, and well written glimpse of life in Victorian England. Glad that’s over with.
