I waited to write a review about this one because I know it was written in the 1920’s or so and it is a beloved book… but,
Firstly, the cadence I found not too difficult to get into as many had described as difficult or boring. I found it similar to adjust to as A Clockwork Orange, once one got used to it then it was easy to adjust to it.
However, the story. I did not find this story to be so profound as everyone is making it out to be. I understand it is supposed to be a first, and therefore we have to consider it in that vein, however
All I found was a complete fool who never once truly thought of revolution, just followed around his cock. He never thought of women as more than just sexual beings to satisfy his urges. Were there no male authors back then who had respect for women at all?? This guy was a bumbling fool who deserved his fate at the end. And before you tell me I missed the point, and that is why he got his end… what a waste of time watching him whine and prostrate himself for his cockly urges. And for those who say that back then love was seen as revolutionary and that was the purpose of this. No where in here did he show true love and sacrifice and respect. He was a moron and selfish and jealous and ruined everything with his idiocy.
This whole story is just a reminder of why I am limiting my politics in this review…
