bahareads 's review for:
Moll Flanders
by Daniel Defoe
“I am giving an account of what was, not of what ought or ought not to be.”
Enjoyable novel? No.
Interesting story? Yes.
Moll Flanders is an unbending person in horrible reoccurring circumstances. A couple of questions I have.. Why did this book have no chapter breaks?!?! What happens to Moll's children that we just abandon? Why is so much time in the book spent when she's a thief but so little time spent on her life with 5 (?) husbands?
I couldn't stand the decorative writing. There was no break from the long never ending sentences. This book was definitely plot driven for Moll was not really developed as a character at all. Moll sins repeatedly and is sorry about it while she keeps on sinning. Am I missing something here? There wasn't a lot of descriptions about the different locations we traveled too. And if there was it was bogged down by ostentatious writing.
