(Original Review, 2002-06-10)Lawrence is "uneven," but of the four novels I've read by him, "The Rainbow" is the best. I read "Sons and Lovers" at the British Council. I loved it at 15, but loved it far less 2 years later. I liked "Lady Chatterley's Lover" more than I thought I would, but that maybe...
Often described as an important/landmark novel, the story of members of the Morel family is a fascinating expose of period industrial working class life, made even more compelling through the author's examination of the main character's relationships.

- Quand un homme est stupide, on dit qu'il n'a pas de cervelle; quand il est mesquin, qu'il n'a pas de cœur; quand il est trouillard, qu'il n'a pas d'estomac. Et quand il est incapable du moindre sursaut de virilité, on dit qu'il n'a pas de couilles.
Review from June 2010: [Though I finished this before I created this blog...I'll post it anyway. This is a short, shallow review.
