The Good Snooze...uh, I mean, Soldier
Feb. 28th, 2010 03:34 pmI realize that in the eyes of at least three people on my flist this is sacrilege, but it has to be said: The Good Soldier is dull, dull, dull, dull. I get why it's important, and reading Ford's "On Impressionism" before tackling the novel did make it make more sense than it might have otherwise, but my GOD is it boring. 278 pages of "I don't caaaaaare!", in fact. And I spent last spring reading multitudinous Victorian novels, so it's not like I don't have a good point of comparison.
That's it, really. Just had to get that off my chest. Now I must go attempt to transform the last few pages of chapter four into a real conclusion for the thesis.
