jessweitzel 's review for:
The Age of Innocence
by Edith Wharton
At the time this book was written, I can see why it was a popular expose of sorts. Wharton does a good job illustrating a very constrained world of New York society. The downside of this is that the world she explains is boring, in my opinion. I enjoyed reading it but stopped a little over halfway through, because there was no real action moving the story forward. Instead, the whole book felt like a portrait of an uptight time and place that I didn't care to know more about. It just wasn't worth more of my time.
