The second novel I've read by Woolf. It's the last one she wrote before committing suicide and one of her shortest. Using a lot of modernist techniques it also illustrates Woolf's feeling for language. With a short and economic style she can create moments of beautiful literature in this novel. The point of Between the Acts is this use of language. Forget the plot, read and reread the lines.

I listened to this on audio in my car for the good part of a month. I have to admit that, by the second or third disc, I was irritated by Portia's non-stop self-bashing. It was painful to listen to, especially knowing what a beautiful woman she is, but I suppose that was the whole point. Anorexia is not really about how thin you are or how you look...it comes down to how you feel about yourself. Portia does such a good job of describing what it's like to live life as an anorexic, it almost made me want to cut my caloric intake in half and start exercising vigorously. Seriously, as someone said in another review, it could be an essential how-to book for the anorexic-to-be, so beware of suggesting it to impressionable young (and old) people. Despite being frustrated with her tale of unrelenting low-self-esteem, I have to admit that I listened to the last disc while weeping in my car. Portia has a lot of insight after experiencing what she did and I found it wise and poignant. Ellen's no dummy.

This is one of the best books I have ever read. Chuck Palaniuk did an outstanding job of creating characters and giving them a bold personality. The story of the narrator's internal struggles and self realization is very relevant to what many people are dealing with every day. The author created an outing for men and their daily struggles, which not only seems very real but has been modeled after ever since the book's conception. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in the psychology of interesting characters and a well written story.

Good story, I was impressed.
I really love Orwell. I love him so much I didn't realize I loved him even after reading two of his books (1984 and Animal Farm, both early on in high school, which I'm in the process of finishing now.) A few years later, I'm a sort of very liberal, vaguely socialisty, let's-fight-back-against-the-bad-things kind of person, so from what I'd heard I thought this book would be right up my alley. And I really wasn't disappointed. But let's face it: this is Orwell. I read and read and don't really think about what I think until I suddenly realize that the novel is having a huge effect on me. And it was the same as always with this book. "Down and out", if you're wondering, is apparently a British term for down on your luck, or poor. The phrase's snappy sound to the American reader only improves the novel's careful balance between the funny and the horrifying. It follows an unnamed narrator (for some reason I see him as a Watkins or something like that) who first finds himself poor in France. He has to sell almost everything he owns, get a bunch of terrible-sounding jobs for very little pay, starve on the streets for days at a time, and somehow keep cheerful enough to go on. He has a motley crew of companions, all going through the same struggle, each with their own take and perspective on their desperate situation. When he manages to get out of Paris and back to London, where he lives, I thought he might have a shot at being happy for a while. But it turns out that his employer is gone, and he has spent all his money, and so once again he is penniless... It sounds bleak, and it is. But it's also FUNNY at parts. My favorite character was Bozo, a poverty-stricken pavement artist with an astonishingly optimistic point of view. "It don't follow that because a man's on the road, he can't think of nothing but tea and two-slices," he says. And he keeps plodding on, perfectly happy. It took me two weeks to read this book, and it wasn't quite unputdownable, but I did a lot of staring at the page in horror and a lot of laughing, and when I finished it, I did that thing where I have ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA what to do next because the book is still crowding up my brain. And then I thought it would be forgettable. But it's not. Actually, of all the novels I've read, this might be the one that I think of most often, aside from the Harry Potter books (which pretty much summed up my childhood, so I think about them all the time) and maybe a few beloved others. Almost every day there's something that reminds me of this book. And the struggles chronicled in it still take place all over the world. It's sobering and important and needs to be fixed. My perspective has been sharpened through reading it. It's made me understand more, emphathize more, and more restless to do what I can to help. I think this should be an assigned book for everyone old enough to understand it. It's a shaping-the-future kind of book, even if it was written in 1933.
