lawsonreads 's review for:
The Waves
by Virginia Woolf
I did it. I finally finished this book. It took me over two months because I could only read like five pages at a time. It seems weird to even review this book because of course it’s good it’s Virginia Woolf. I wanted to like it more because Mrs. Dalloway is one of my all time favourite books but this one was more difficult and dense than that one. Also there were a lot of characters to follow and they all sounded the same in their narration which made it somewhat difficult to follow. My favourite line of the book is: “And you wish to be a poet; and you wish to be a lover” (59). I might get that tattooed honestly. Yes, also there are definitely parts of this book that are racist/problematic (especially towards India) because the time period it was written in. Overall my reading experience was wasn’t the best but I’m glad I read it!
