The Hours... My Perspective

No matter how hard I try, how long I spend, how focused I become, I cannot seem to find any kind of liking to this novel. The Hours is most definitely not my kind of story. As you know Mr. Lavender, I am all about the action, especially that containing vampires :) Anyway, this is a bit more captivating than the rest of the novels we have read in your class, such as Mrs. Dalloway. Now, I understand where you are coming from when you say that the books that I am interested in are "poorly written" but you have to understand that I am not an English teacher and I still have not learned to appreciate well written stories such as the ones we read in your class.

Back to the novel, I think it is kind of slow, as a whole. I also think that there is some significance to this cake thing, still haven't figured that one out? I am also kind of creeped out by all of the kissing going on between women, even the sisters! I feel like every single one of these women is either a closet lesbian or an open lesbian, with a few exceptions. I am not the kind of person who likes to read about that. I guess the "passion" between these people is interesting and does kind of intrigue me but then I come back to the thought of it being women kissing, not the norm. I guess that is kind of what Michael Cunningham is all about, being abnormal and twisted with his characters, who knows. All in all, I am super excited to finish this book so that I can get back to reading to my other book, ha ha.
