“While I do recognize the genius and complexity of this book, I didn't like it very much. It was, though incredibly thoughtful and descripive, incredibly difficult to follow and keep reading. It is dense to say the least, perhaps nessisarily so, as it is a single day in a woman's life streched throughout an entire novel. Its easy to get lost in some page long description or flashback and then think "wait, whats happening here? Is there a point to this?". Furthermore (and admittedly, this is more of a personal issue) I found the long list of characters confusing and disorienting. This got to be less of an issue towards the end, but i used to mix up the male characters alot because they tended to be very similar.”
