pippinthepuffin 's review for:
A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man
by James Joyce
This book made no sense at all! First of all, there is no flow from past to present, it just BOOM flashback, and the reader is not told that it is a flashback. Second, this book is a short book but it takes forever to get into it. Unlike most of the book I read, where I can actually imagine what is going on in the scene, this is like I'm just reading words, not a story. Third and probably the only thing going for this book is that it has some character development in it, that is if you understand what is going on in the book. I would not recommend this book, unless you have the spark notes to it or you are into 19th Irish literate.
