geisterkoenigin's review against another edition
3.0
It started out beautifully, I loved how it felt exactly like taking a walk and letting your mind flow with frivolous thoughts and stories and then some anecdotes.
But then the anecdotes became the whole story and it kept switching so much between people I had a hard time keeping up with what's going and and what's actually important...
For me Woolf writes stories like poetry, in a good and bad sense. Good because she can twist and form words in ways that leave you in awe and make you feel things in a heart-touching way BUT THEN it's also as complicated as poetry can be in the same way you'd have to analyze a poem section by section and consider this and that to get closer to any meaning or interpretation, Woolf's writing makes you feel like you have to properly analyze what's going on to have any clue on what she wants supposed to be telling you...
