No. I'm NOT giving this a ONE even if I'm tempted to.Because I think I am NOT mature enough, experienced enough (whatevs) to read it. It wasn't bad. And yeah, maybe a BIT vulgar, but not really that scandalous (hey Haf, it was published on a different age -t).Honestly, I am just so glad that I am FI...

This book was a little strange. The world the author talks about in the book is so different than what I read in other books.

It always amazes me how prudish our world used to be. And Europe no less!

Ah, Lady Chatterley and her lover – one of the most banned books ever; it has titillated audiences since it was first published in 1928. However, behind the shock factor of this very infamous novel lies a striking picture in time of a society in flux. The First World War is over, as is the Victorian...

Interesting but rather anti-climactic at the end. I was expecting something explosive to happen, but the resolution to the conflict was that it simply fizzled out. For me, Lawrence's writing style is very repetitive. Sometimes he even repeats a word or a phrase in the same sentence or paragraph. It'...
