The Rainbow

The fecund fecundity of Lawrence's fecund verbosity is enough to drive anyone to distraction. Paragraphs upon paragraphs describing a sunrise (or was it a sunset? I forget) apparently is the moment two protagonists make love in a field. You need the notes to tell you that. So much for the man who wrote the infamous 'Lady Chatterly'.
Almost as tedious a read as George Eliot.

My thoughts exactly.
I really like George Eliot so I won't comment on that but you made a point with his tedious descriptions in a very humorous way, which I enjoyed a lot! certainly a subtler way than other reviews I've read which put 2 stars or less
