A review by ksprezza
Jude the Obscure by Thomas Hardy

4.0

Hardy sure knows how to depress his readers. Poor Jude just couldn't catch a break. Every time something started going right for him, everything else fell apart. As much as I just wanted to slap him for all his stupid decisions, I couldn't help but feel sorry for him. Being a child raised by an unloving aunt, to being tricked into marriage with the town flirt, and then falling in love with his super flakey cousin, Jude was just destined for a life of misery and failure.
