A review by clairemon
Lady Chatterley's Lover by D.H. Lawrence

2.0

I read this book on a recommendation and wasn't really sure what to expect. I'd heard that it had interesting explorations on class and sex and relationships, and I was interested to see for myself. Unfortunately, I found most of this quite boring, and I felt I had to really drag myself through some parts. I especially found the characters reoccurring rants on the opposite sex quite tiresome, although I suppose it also felt quite realistic. For me, the story did pick up a bit at the end, when I finally felt a little invested in the story and characters.

I can see how at the time this could have been quite 'scandalous', and can acknowledge it as an important piece of text. I guess it just wasn't my cup of tea!
