Public post in the reader discussion for Mrs. Dalloway.

Disappointed by Woolf

By SilverFocus1993

I finished *To the Lighthouse* last year and really liked it—still think it’s one of my favorite classic books, like top five material. But then I moved on to *Mrs. Dalloway* and… wow, the contrast is big. Honestly, I found it pretty boring. I can see the craft and the whole way she writes, and I even tried to pick up some of the technique for my own stuff, but I couldn’t really follow what was happening half the time. I feel like Woolf sometimes just goes over my head. :/
