A review by nick_jenkins
Women in Love by D. H. Lawrence

4.0

There once was a man named D. Lawrence.
Of fustian passions he wrote torrents.
But it all was so glum,
Was a stick up his bum?
For his sex scenes were utter abhorrence!

On the other hand, there are some breathtaking passages, and his characters really live. Lawrence is the British Dreiser, although I'm probably not the first to say that.
