3.5

Interesting read but unfortunately not my style. It was tiringly slow in the first third but picked up quite a bit when the ACTUAL lover appeared on the scene. I found Connie (Lady Chatterly) somehow not quite believable/shallow as a character but Mellors and Mrs Bolton had some interesting depth. Not exactly your typical love affair story but I would stay away if you find sex descriptions disturbing or off-putting.
