A review by reddaeg
Sophie's Choice by William Styron

3.0

Filled another gap in my classical reading. I did not enjoy this. It was the stuff Oscar-nominated movies are made of - bleak, horrible, heart-wrenching material. The fact that it is evocatively and eloquently written (excessive descriptions of sexual fluids notwithstanding) doesn't make up for the horror, for me. Just the same as I don't choose to watch the Oscar misery, I kind of wish I hadn't chosen to remedy this educational miss.
