I've discovered many books from the 1001 list that I've enjoyed, and I've read a few that I probably could have done without. I usually can get through just about any book, but Wide Sargasso Sea by Jean Rhys wasn't one of my favorites. I felt like I really had to force my way through this book.
To be fair, I haven't read Jane Eyre yet, so that may have been part of the problem. This book tells the story of the madwoman in the attic. Although the book was short, I never could get in to the story, so it took much longer than it should have to read.
There was a lot of critical acclaim for this novel, and in reading some reviews other enjoyed it much more than I did. Unfortunately I wasn't one of the ones who enjoyed it.
My rating: 1 1/2 stars
