[T.J. Gillespie]

I am not sure how broad the audience is for a book like this, but it was illuminating. In terms of literary criticism and insights, it is much more useful than Francine Prose's Mrs. Dalloway Reader.

[Poetic Diva504]

This book was thorough in detailing aspects of Virginia Woolf’s works, and how her stream of consciousness flows throughout. The dissection of her complex novels makes this an interesting read. If one wants to write precise novels, this is an excellent guide for breaking apart novels for the sake of putting together your own.

[Luca Scarrott]

This is such an insightful read into Mrs Dalloway, it's very reliable and original. Would 100% recommend for both academic research reading and just for pleasure !!

This book was fine I guess but I was just bored. Not really the book's fault, I just don't have patience for this sort of thing, I guess.
