A review by ifyouhappentoremember
Main Street by Sinclair Lewis
3.0
Well this was an exercise in endurance.
I got the impression that Sinclair Lewis really wanted us to suffer along with his heroine, Carol. I understood what he was doing but it does not make for an enthralling read.
In my opinion, The Age of Innocence rightly won the Pulitzer Prize over Main Street. No disrespect to Sinclair Lewis (I’m sure his ghost is going to haunt me over this).
