inthelunaseas 's review for:
Lady Chatterley's Lover
by D. H. Lawrence
I really would have liked to have enjoyed this book.
For the majority, Lawrence's style was easy to read, particularly given the date it was written. This is for the most part.
Mellors' dialogue was nearly impossible to read at points, and I struggled to make heads or tails of any of the monologues he went on, particularly when it came to the village he lived in. I had to agree with Connie's sister when she told him to stop speaking like that. Furthermore, Lawrence seemed to enjoy going on about England's economy at the time, and that was a bore to read through. The sensation was akin to nails down a chalkboard.
Furthermore, Connie didn't live up to the intelligence she supposedly had, and she fell rather quickly in love with Mellors (who was meant to be as intelligent as her, and if that was the case, did it quite well given his poor language usage).
The only reason I give this book 2/5 as opposed to the 1/5 I feel it deserves it because of the mostly simplistic language, which was one of the limited reasons I was able to go through it, and the twisted relationship between Clifford and Mrs Bolton. If it weren't for the scandal is caused in 1928, I highly doubt this book would have achieved an recognition at all.
