The Hours Thus far...
So far this is a very interesting book. I like the three different sections that tie us in with Mrs. Dalloway, Virginia Woolf, and Mrs. Brown. This story really engages the reader. If you slow down while reading this you can catch on to the interconnections of all of the characters and certain events. Cunningham uses many "moments" throughout this story to connect many of the characters. He also uses these moments to show how he feels about the real Mrs. Dalloway and Virginia Woolf. This story is a little slow for me so far and i'm not sure if I will really like it, but who knows it seems to get better the further I get into it.

Erin,
I'm glad you're enjoying the novel thus far (though that enjoyment seems a little tempered at this point). Ironically, though this is arguably a "slow" book, I think you're right to suggest that readers need to "slow down" in order to appreciate the full measure of its complexity.
I'm interested to hear what you think the further you get into this!
