A review by samsam922
Sophie's Choice by William Styron

Did not finish book. Stopped at 53%.
Narrator was whiny, annoying, mysoginistic, and creepy. There were more chapters focused on how horny the narrator was than on Sophie herself. Even when Sophie did come up, it was mostly descriptions of her being abused or how attractive the narrator thought she was. The descriptions of domestic violence are also pretty vivid which just seems uncalled for. Barely scartched the surface of Sophie's holocaust experience even though the book was close to halfway over.
