I tried so hard to enjoy this novel. I am about 300 pages in and I am fed up. The themes of Lawrence's book are just not expansive enough to fill up the EXPANSIVE novel he's written. I can't seem to sympathize with his soap-opera characters and Paul, though we've watched him grown up, doesn't seem developed enough. Ugh, I guess you can't like all the classics.

I felt very much the same when I read Lawrence. I don't feel pulled into his story. Still a solid read, but I felt little for the characters.

I'm inclined to agree except that Paul is D.H. Lawrence himself - autobiographical!
