Lady Chatterley's Lover
by D. H. Lawrence
I thought this book was supposed to be romantic? Mellors fully admits to strangling his wife and then rants about murdering lesbians - he is the worst love interest I’ve ever come across. Worst still, Connie still wants him like he isn’t a walking red flag!
This book was really boring - I didn’t care one iota what Clifford’s friends thought about communism that’s not what I’m here for, but it went on forever, as did Mellors’ never ending rants in the second half (yawn!).
I also wish DH Lawrence wouldn’t describe literally everything as ‘queer’ - He uses it twice on one page at one point. There are so many other adjectives in the world, even in the 1920s.
Overall, I wouldn’t recommend this book. Just read the summary on spark notes or something!
(P.S don’t read the Amazon Classics version - it has content missing!)
