bupdaddy 's review for:
Sister Carrie
by Theodore Dreiser
I was supposed to read this in college. I read far enough to decide it was a big morality statement and women shouldn't do anything but marry somebody and shut up. I'm embarrassed but pleased at how wrong I was.
I wish I was in a college class again to discuss this, because I really liked it, and would like to sort out the various feelings I have about the characters. It's an incredibly forward-looking book. I can't quite grasp that a woman character was so powerful in a novel back then. I mean, I get that she's not necessarily the nicest woman you'd want to meet, but still.
An impressive work. I wasn't expecting to like it so much.
