Book Reviews of To the Lighthouse

Well, honestly Virginia Woolf just doesn't do it for me. I have read all of her writing (of which we are aware) and read every writing I could get my hands on about her life, writing style, and historical relations to her writing and I still couldn't get into her. The only exception would be Orlando and that was still not the best.

To the Lighthouse has a lot to offer in its colorful language and descriptions of the landscape, but I felt lost in the characters and goingsons of the novel. It was hard to get into the plot. It wouldn't be on the top of my list for reading.

As an English teacher, I felt I should read this one, but I honestly found Woolf's use of language so convoluted and complex that I couldn't make it past the first couple of chapters. It's a really tough read, and would probably be worth the effort, but I cannot honestly say so from personal experience. Good luck!

This is the book Virginia was writing during the time period of The Hours.

Virginia Woolf at her best. Interesting insight to a bygone era.

This is well written but I prefer Woolf's non-fiction.

The book is in good condition, but has a different picture on the cover than the book shown.

A classic, surrealist novel.
