4.0

A book about change. In ourselves and our surroundings. It's a book about sexuality, about gender and gender-roles, and it's a book about life and expectations but set upon us by others and ourselves and expectations we have as for what's to come. It's a tad boring at some place because of it's structure and the fact that it's a fictional biography, but it is very much a book that makes you reflect and think and wonder, and it definitely has that Woolf style to the writing where it flows so well that it's as if the pages just glide by.

One thing I found funny is the very fact that I found the book relatively boring during the start, when Orlando is a man, and the moment she became a woman, I became a lot more attentive and found the book more interesting. 

I am definitely reading more of Virginia Woolf in the future.
