A review by mollywithcurls
Look Homeward, Angel by Thomas Wolfe

1.0

I know that this book is an American classic and revered by many, but I did not enjoy it. In fact, I couldn't even bring myself to finish it. I donated it to the library because I didn't want it on my bookshelf!

While the writing style is very unique and Thomas Wolfe is obviously a very talented and intelligent writer, I found myself disturbed at every turn of the page. The descriptions of the child's sexual fantasy and morbid outlook on life disgusted me. I guess as I have grown and matured I don't see the use of reading such things.

I want to spend my time doing and reading things that are uplifting. Not things that bring a dark spirit to my life.
