4.5

One of the easiest classics to read! I love classics but sometimes the language/prose makes it difficult to read more than a chapter or few pages a day. But this had me speed reading!

I was Confused though about the mentions of god/goddesses kissing ie Phaeton and Persephone? All the imagery made me confused as to what the purpose was; is it symbolic? Was Lucy actually seeing them?

Loved this and perfect for summer! I loved the characters and the humor/funny moments. I can see now why it’s considered a must read and can’t wait to read more from Forster! Would definitely recommend for any classics lover or readers trying to get into the classics.
