theliteraryapothecary 's review for:

Sons and Lovers by Geoff Dyer, D. H. Lawrence

4.0

For me, this was a book that started off rather slowly. The writing was good technically, but I wasn't emerged in it. At first I had to convince myself to keep reading to see what "all the buzz" was about. But once I got to the middle part of the book and I began thinking about what I was reading in relation to the beginning of the book then I was hooked. By the last 100 pages, I couldn't stop reading the book. I only put it down to sleep at night. Thinking about the book as I continued reading it gave me that Ah-ha moment which hit me like a bus once it got there.
