This was an unusual read for me. I only bought it to fulfill a 3 for 10 dollar deal Chapters put on, but I never actually expected to read it (I know, it's a shameful confession). However I needed a little break from chick-lits and decided to go for something deeper.
Being a piece of twentieth-century classic literature, this book was not as boring as anticipated. It is an erotic romance novel that was first banned and burned for the sex scenes and mix of social classes. A cool fact that actually got me to buy the book was the first private printing of it was in 1928 but it wasn’t properly published until 1960. I have to be thankful to Lawrence because if it wasn't for authors like him, we would not have our mile long romance section at Chapters. ;)
Since I am not a usual fan of classic literate (outside of Jane Austen of course), this is a difficult book for me to review. I personally found it dry and slow paced. However the philosophical views Lawrence expresses are intriguing. So if you are looking for a challenge that is not plot driven then go for this. As for me, I am going back to my chick-lits.
