eya_b 's review for:

Sons and Lovers by D. H. Lawrence
2.0

I'm gonna go ahead and give myself a pat on the back cause I was legit convinced that I would never finish this.

I was a bit put-off by all the negative reviews I saw online, and 100 pages into the book I though "yep, it all makes sense now."

I honestly don't get why this is constantly praised and described as this really magnificent work of literature, except from the very obvious ŒDIPUS complex taking place.
The characters (with no exception) were very flat and unlikable. The plot was almost non-existent. It was just an endless circle of back and forth arguments between the characters and it got boring very quickly.
