huskerbee 's review for:
A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man
by James Joyce
I loved Dubliners, and so I thought I ought to check this one out, but it turned out to be a bit of a real slog - I remember a bit almost a third of the way through where it was just four pages of this sermon and I tuned out completely. It was also very hard to follow - I wasn't sure what was going on half the time, whether he was talking to himself or someone else, who the 'her' was - I'm aware it's probably some kind of a stylistic choice, but wow, was it tiring.
The only reason it isn't two stars is because it got significantly more interesting after he went to university. His relationships with the fellow students and conversations were a lot more fun than the first part of the book.
