A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man isn't exactly a page turner... not to say that I didn't enjoy it in some way though. It is written in a stream of consciousness style and tells the story of a young man as he grows up Catholic in Ireland and falls away from the church only to go back to it and then leave it again. It was interesting getting in this guys head and seeing what motivated him but at times I found they style too hard to follow. Also it seems like most of the secondary characters weren't really necessary and weren't interesting. I'd also mention that the book has completely unnecessary maps of walks that the character took... I just don't get it... the maps are pointless. Also it mentions
The Count of Monte Cristo. A-
