A review by whisperer7
Babbit by Sinclair Lewis
1.0
It definitely did not age well. I strugled with this book; the writing style is horrible, character descriptions are lacking in one area and then unnecessary in another, story is lazy and slow (when there is one) and the overall feeling of the book is just... no.
Yes, it's somewhat relatable even still, after 80 years, showing the society hasn't changed much, but I'm sure there are far better books out there showing the same thing. Maybe I just didn't read a good translation of the book or I just hate the writing style, but this book is a big no for me.
