Reviews
I never saw the movie because I always thought it would be better to read the book. I read the book cuz they made such a big deal outa the movie (yes books can be on my reading list for a LONG TIME!). this was boring. Maybe if I had read mrs Dalloway by Virginia woolf, the book that ties it all together, it would have been more interesting. I got through the whole thing and there wasn’t much point. Except for the fact that all the women wanted to sleep with other women. Yes, im aware that there were more weighty, important points but I guess I have sex on the mind.
