*I only read Walden*
First off I need to make clear that this book is indisputably a beautifully written piece of work. The reason I give it two stars is only because it is not a style of writing that I enjoy. The writing was very descriptive, which certainly leads to vivid imagery but I really just wanted Thoreau to get to the point. That said, I think that Thoreau had wonderful points, I just would have been happier if it hadn't taken so long to get to them.
