Sons and Lovers
by D. H. Lawrence
This book was a mixed bag. On one hand, Lawrence goes into issues of religion, class, and euthanasia, which continue to be important in today's world. On the other hand, I really disliked the romance element of the book, which felt far less important than the other issues, and was often not written as well as the rest (Miriam must have gone to the eyedoctor everyday, because her eyes were so frequently discribed as "dialated" that it got distracting), and the romance elements also made most of the characters rather unlikeable. The value of the book is not made by how likeable the characters are, however, it does help the enjoyability of the book, so when, at the end, I didn't care who Paul ended up with or what happened to him, and wished Mariam would just go away, that's not exactly good.
