This book has a sordid US legal history and the content lives up to its reputation. It’s much filthier and sexier than I expected it to be, and Lawrence’s interpretation of sex and love and the English social classes is very interesting. Absolutely recommended. ( )

Were it not for the graphic sex scenes, it would be a terribly forgettable story. ( )

A classic, banned book that took me awhile to finish but when I finally did I felt successful and had a whole new understanding about the story and the reasoning behind it.

Lady Chatterley’s Lover is about a woman whose husband is an invalid and to escape from her unhappy marriage she falls into sexual relationships with various men, one longer than most, and finds that it’s just not that easy to forget your problems and run away.

It was extremely intriguing but not recommended for everyone. It’s very racy, includes crude and vulgar language and references. It would be like watching a rated R film without violence but all the sexual aspects.

If you have no boundaries, it was a very interesting story and while it took some time to get used to, I found myself curious as to the end result and what would happen to Lady Chatterley and the people surrounding her. ( )

Lady Chatterley's Lover was originally published in 1928, and was banned in many places. Now it is a classic, readily available to all and sundry and - like many classics - it isn't worth bothering with. The language and style of writing are fine - the problem lies in content. I found this novel to be bleak, depressing and pessimistic and, if this is truly Lawrence's view of life and love, then I pity him. Even given the era this was written, with it's increased industrialisation, collier strikes, the aftermath of one war and the spectre of another, surely there was still room for hope? Many people enjoy this work, but it is not for me. ( )

a classic -- must read!!! ( )
