Title: The Hours
Product review: I didn't find this book engrossing or even challenging. In fact, it was an effort for me to finish reading this rather smallish book. I found the writing to be superficial and the characters undeveloped. Of course, the connections among the three women were obvious and there were no surprises to be discovered. Anyone familiar with the Bloomsbury Group and specifically Virginia Woolf is aware of everything included concerning her life and her writing. The similarities among the three characters were so tenuous and the characters so underdeveloped (I felt no attachment to any of them), that although I am aware of the rave reviews, I find it impossible to agree with them. If this is a Pulitzer Prize winning novel, then our writing establishment, and our civilization by extension, are in deep trouble.
