Book Review of The Unbearable Lightness of Being

The Unbearable Lightness of Being
reviewed Surprisingly good on


I admit, the first half of the book all of the characters annoyed me. I didn't understand why these people chose to be together if they just end up resenting each other. But then in the second half I started to understand it's about a philosophy about the lightness of being, which the reader will understand in the end. And it seems even the characters reach their own understanding of each other. It makes you realize that love can be measured in ways that might not normally occur to us.
