Villette by Charlotte Brontë
3.0

It took me ages to finish it and it says a lot, although it has been sitting on a shelf for the last 1,5 month or so due to school and not for being boring. However, Charlotte Bronte couldn't capture me with Villette. It started out in a pretty hectic, but overall interesting way with Lucy Snowe's life constantly changing, bringing up new challenges daily but with her arrival to the French town, everything became quite dull. I guess this is how most people's life play out, so it was realistic in a way but I expect my books to be more exciting. The writer is quite brilliant with describing people so everyone seemed very real, but oh my, Lucy isn't very likeable.
