My Thoughts of The Hours
The Hours is a unique book on how Cunningham took the characters and made them in different time periods. At the same time all of the women interconnect in some way and this is intriguing to me. When I first starting reading the book I didn’t really like how the chapters are broken up by the characters, but after reading more and more it grew on me. Now when the chapters switch from character to character I like it and it is like a break from the other character so you don’t get bored of the one characters. My favorite chapters are Mrs. Dalloway’s, I think this is because it takes place the latest in time and I can relate to it more. Overall I am enjoying this novel and look forward to finishing it.

Jerry,
I'm glad you're enjoying the novel, and I find it interesting that you like the most contemporary ("Mrs. Dalloway") the most (a lot of your peers don't agree). I'm also surprised (in light of so many other posts slamming Cunningham for being derivative) that you find the book "unique". Given your somewhat anomalous take on the novel, I'd like to hear more (I wish this post were a little longer!).
