A review by k_shanahan
Dubliners by James Joyce

4.0

I enjoyed almost all of the stories, especially 'The Dead', 'A Little Cloud', 'Evaline' and 'An Encounter'. The recurring theme of how life is boring and monotonous and nothing we ever try and do to spice it up will work, got a bit boring. Joyce forced the motion onto me so much that I wanted to scream at him that I get it!! However, I guess that's what he was going for- I got into a monotonous routine reading about monotonous routines.
I really liked his writing style much more than I thought, and this gives me much more confidence to attempt Ulysses some day in the future
