I really tried to enjoy this. I recently joined an online book club and this was March's book. I liked it while reading it but literally anything else seemed more fun than actually picking it up to resume reading it.
Paul is understandable for the first bot of the book. He feels immature but in an age-appropriate he'll-grow-out-of-it way but he never does. I know this novel is largely autobiographical and I'm pretty sure I'd hate D. H. Lawrence if he ever crossed my path or darkened my doorstep. I'm not sure I'd read anything by Lawrence again unless someone I really trusted recommended another if his works to me.
