Book Review: Mrs. Dalloway (Woolf)

Have I read this before: Nope.

Review: Eh. This one wasn’t my favorite. Like, To the Lighthouse was okay, but I don’t think Woolf’s writing style really jives with me. The story itself was okay I guess, but I wasn’t really a fan of the way it was conveyed. Also, it’s YET ANOTHER STORY SET IN ENGLAND, as if we need that.  

Favorite Part: The death of Septimus. Super sad.

Rating: 3/10

Book Review: To the Lighthouse (Woolf)

Have I read this before: Nope. Who’s afraid of Virginia Woolf? Me.

Review: This took a little getting used to because of the shifting perspective/focal points, but it was more enjoyable once I got the swing of it. I don’t know what I was expecting from Woolf, but it wasn’t this. It’s not my favorite style, but it works.

Favorite Part: I really liked the second part (Part II), which was told from a bit more of an omniscient viewpoint and was a bit more removed.
