A review by caitlin_89
Lady Chatterley's Lover by D.H. Lawrence
1.0
1) omg this was so boring.
2) what posessed D.H. Lawrence to write as if he understood everything there was to know about a woman's sexuality? That level presumption may be bolder than the sex scenes themselves.
IDK what I expected from this book, but pages on pages of rants outlining the decline of true human civilization, dialogue by imbelicic characters on the vast differences of the classes, antisemitism, and weird references to ancient races and womb-feelings was not it. This book was so weird that the p€n!$e$ were among the least of its problems for me. I read it out of sheer curiosity and now I have zero remaining curiosity for anything else Lawrence may have written. Sure, it was graphic and unabashed. But mostly it was philosophical in a wildly boring way.
