What Members Thought
I suspect that whether you will love this book or not depends heavily on how much you enjoy literary criticism. I happen to love Victorian novels, so I had hopes for this one in spite of my dislike of literary criticism. Unfortunately, I found the modern characters to be irritating and pretentious, and the letters and poetry pretty uninteresting. I didn't care about anyone, and at 1/3 of the way through it seemed to be unending, so I skipped to the end.
