spiralnode 's review for:

Venus in Furs by Leopold von Sacher-Masoch

4.0

---

I really enjoyed the aspects of human nature that this story explores, but there are bits that seem repetitive and annoying, such as Severin's continued trust after being lied to and abused by Wanda so many times, only to reveal that she was pretending to care for him. But overall, pleasant and intriguing read, leaves you feeling like you're not even sure how to feel about it in the end, because it's so hard to relate to the characters (at least for me!).
