I loved it though did not agree completely. But Virginia Woolf will never disappoint.

3.5 stars rounded up for intrigue

while i was reading this i felt like i could hear virginia woolf's voice reading it out loud to me. her ideas were interesting and fun to read about, and i found her evidence and analysis of other works of literature well-done. although, it does require a basic knowledge of literature to read this essay, or else the examples and references won't really make much sense, and towards the end, it started to get a bit repetitive. however, there was some humor sprinkled into this and it made the essay much more lively. this piece left me with a new perspective on woolf's works of fiction and literature as a whole. this is the first non-fiction piece of virginia woolf i've ever read, and i find her writing style much easier to comprehend than her fiction style. nonetheless, i enjoyed this quick read.

Hating on Galsworthy for 24 pages straight and I LOVED IT

Mrs. Woolf wrote essays more compelling than most contemporary fiction.

I truly and deeply admire Woolf’s writing. While writing on highly complex matters, she never fails to involve every reader, giving everyone an opportunity to go along her line of thought. She makes complex matters less complex, and at the same time even more complex. Her writing makes it seem like there is no other way possible to write what she is writing.

I read it for my English Literature course.

I was surprised by how much I enjoyed this essay; it wasn't at all what I was expecting. The writing was easy to comprehend on the first read, and I liked Woolf's voice throughout this essay. A clever piece of writing, and really inspiring for an amateur writer.
