A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man by James Joyce

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'
