"The French Lieutenant's Woman" - John Fowles - 1969

READ FEB 2010

Holy shit, I honestly can't believe I finished this novel with just over a week to spare!  I thought for sure I'd be pushing it all the way til the 28th and hoping for a leap year.  I felt victorious last night, but at the same time, I cannot quite decide how I feel about the book itself.  On one hand, I liked the postmodern aspects and the authors voice.  On the other hand, I don't know if I actually liked the book.  I also found myself racing to the finish, I have a deadline to uphold after all, so perhaps I'm being unfair.  I am very glad I read it for the simple fact of fulfilling my goal for the month and finishing a book that was given to me years ago.  Feels pretty good.  I can rent the movie now...
