sirinrob Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 Finished this after reading 'Ulysses'. This is easier to read than 'Ulysses', but I found Chapter 3 heavy going, but interesting as an insight into Catholic doctrine. As a Bildungsroman felt this was average. Stephen's character develops along with the language, which is effective. However I felt he only develops so far. Many of the motives/themes presented are taken up in 'Ulysses' and expanded on. How Stephen is at the end, explains his dissolute behavior in 'Ulysses'. This was an interesting read, but I prefer 'Ulysses' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinay87 Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 I've had this book since I was 12. I thought i'd be an easy read because of the moocow bit. But then I saw how hard it was to read and didn't try it after. Now that 11 years have passed, maybe I'm ready for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
