A review by brittrivera
Sophie's Choice by William Styron
2.0
I really wanted to like this book. It started out really good and then dragged on forever. Styron really needs to learn how to edit. I felt like he was showing off how smart he was half the time because I needed a dictionary to understand every other word. Good idea, but executed poorly. Next time, I'll just watch the movie.
"At 22, struggling to become some kind of writer, I found that the creative heat which at 18 had nearly consumed me with its gorgeous, relentless flame had flickered out to a dim pilot light registering little more than a token glow in my breast, or wherever my hungriest aspirations once resided."
"I was at that age when reading was still a passion and thus, save from a happy marriage, the best state possible in which to keep absolute loneliness at bay."
