I enjoyed the book, too, but DID NOT like Mrs. Dalloway. I found it to be very, very dense. I viewed the movie first and was at once intrigued by it.

I watched the movie over the weekend; it was good, but I was glad I'd read the book first. Good luck with all your readings and whatnot!

I think using the questions worked perfectly. I decided to go ahead and read this before Mrs Dalloway. But I think I may read the Woolf, a bio and watch the movie - then review all at the same time. Oh and the bio I'm going to pick up is "Virginia Woolf: An Inner Life" by Julia Briggs - it looks really good because it follows her life using her writing as a timeline. Or maybe "Virginia Woolf: A Writers Life" by Lyndall Gordon - it's more traditional. This is a great review! I think using the questions worked perfectly.

I wasn't sure if it was going to work or not -- I worried there wouldn't be enough summary about the book and so the review wouldn't be very helpful. But, after I went back and added some introduction and stuff I think it worked. I think I'll try it again for another book. I’m glad!

I'm not sure if I'll re-read this one; maybe once I get to <i>Mrs. Dalloway</i> I'll skim back through it, depending on my reading mood. It was an enjoyable read though.

The movie is really good, too, though I wish I'd waited to see it until after reading the book. The Q&A worked really well with this review.
