Mrs Dalloway is a kind of life-in-a-day book, in that it follows its main characters through a single day in 1920s London. I give it two stars not because it was a bad book, but more because I don't remember most of it, and thus it is quite hard to review.I liked Woolf's style: uncomplicated yet ele...
Finally finished it and as always my love for Virginia Woolf's nearly perfect prose (motivated by something other than merely for the sake of perfection) is even more deeply entrenched.I feel that to ever really understand Mrs. Dalloway one would have to understand why the moment Clarissa becomes Mr...
I was assigned this book several times in high school and college and turned to Monarch notes rather than finishing, because words can not express how tedious and boring I found this book. Hated it. Recently, I wanted to read Cunningham's "The Hours" because I was intrigued by the film. I knew that ...

Well, I tried. I am completely unfamiliar with the story and had no idea what to expect going in. I picked this up this afternoon, and 30 tedious pages later, I have to say I don't really know what was going on during that time. I get that Mrs Dalloway seems to have some sort of past with a man name...
Ugh. Nononono. Why do I hate this so much? I'm supposed to love it, right? So glad I only spent 99 cents.Refuse to torture myself when my to-read pile is so enormous. Therefore DNF.
Will have to reread this, just couldn't focus on it. My thoughts kept wandering off and I rarely ever have that with non-study books. I did have the same with Woolf's Moments of Being, which I abandoned, another thing that I rarely do. Bad signs! Next time I'll lock myself in a quiet room and have a...
I finally have the inkling why some people loves Virginia Woolf so much. This book deserves to be read on a holiday; not in Rome, Amsterdam, Bali, Bangkok or Paris where you feel obliged to explore, to soak up in culture & art, to be on your feet from dawn to dusk followed by wild night. It's those ...
