3.5 stars. When I've had time to process it, that may go up to four.

blueflatfoot's review against another edition
3.0
The book is written in the "slice of life" style of naturalism. Its theme is, "Middle class Americans are unhappy, evasive, self-deceptive, followers who have surrendered youthful idealism for boring unrewarding routine." That said, the style of the writing is intelligent, cleverly revealing and clear. Lewis's presentation of his characters shows an insightful mind at work. He is a talented author. Unfortunately, in the style of naturalism, this story has no plot and no hero.

As relevant and stimulating now as the day it was written.
