A review by jmsw
The Voyage Out by Virginia Woolf
3.0
Woolf herself wrote that "the second-rate works of a great writer are worth reading because they offer the best criticism of his masterpieces" -- definitely true here. This isn't her best novel, but it's her first novel, and you can see so many things developing that you are going to love when they are grown.
That said, this is NOT the novel to fall in love with Woolf with. The end moves quickly -- the last 100 pages for me turned far faster than any 30 of the previous hundreds, but it's a long haul sometimes.
