Pros: sensual, honest description of how love changes a person and their life, unbanned in 1959
Cons: some description was repetitious, term "f-ucking" may offend
Summary: however one might sentimentalize it, this sex business was one of the most ancient, sordid connections and subjections. Poets who glorified it were mostly men. Women had always known there was something better, something higher. And now they knew it ... read more

Pros: Raises interesting issues; a classic work
Cons: Lawrence can seem a little wooden sometimes

Pros: classic, beautiful
Cons: slightly too descriptive
Summary: Lady Chatterley's Lover was written by D.H. Lawrence. At the time it was written it was definitely a shocker to the society it was written for. People were simply not used to hearing about sex and true love in books. It was not uncommon for what ... read more
