Search - The Hours

Interesting read - starts off slow but culminates into a surprisingly touching story. The three characters merge into one story that is tied together not only narratively but emotionally. Keep the tissues close!

This is one of the best books I've ever read - brilliant and moving, and the way everything ties together and the three plots connect....simply lovely.

If you are in the mood for a deep read, this is wonderful--not that fluffy stuff that your done in 3 hours -- yes it was a feel good cozy read but you could of taken it or left it. This is a novel of 3 women, each a seperate story and each very likeable. All three working towards the end of the story to come together as one fantastic read. When you are done-you feel like you just read a novel well worth your time. Very well written. Will make you think, feel, and wonder, and isn't that what a good novel is supposed to do?

Cunningham has provided a story of three extraordinary women: a 1950s California housewife, a 2000s New York editor, and the magnificent 1920s Virgina Woolf. Woolf is on the cusp of creating her masterpiece, Mrs. Dalloway, and the women who follow her in history read it and experience it. Beautifully written, it's a great read for open-minded thinkers everywhere. Now an Oscar-winning motion picture.

book that turned into a movie. interesting read, a sympathetic novel. it is inspired by a Virginia Woolf novel, Mrs. Dalloway. You do not need to know Woolf to read The Hours, you are just cheating yourself if you dont go read her next. (Mrs. Dalloway is one of the finest books ever. Go read that instead of eating now) However, if The Hours turns you into Virginia Woolf's biggest reader, as it did me, then it is not in vain.

Michael Cunningham's clever adaptation of Virginia Woolf's Mrs. Dalloway combines the beauty and tragedy of everyday life with the hopes and dreams of the book's characters in a tragic, joyful and ultimately unforgetable way. Excellent book that I had a hard time parting with.
