We all love to travel, to new places, new cities in cars, buses, caravans, by air, by the sea but I have travelled everyday since I was ten through books. I have let the ocean kiss my feet on the Coast of Ipanema and nosed around in Calgary and my travel expenses have never been more than the price of a McDonald Cheese Burger. Here's my travelogue where books can be found through the countries they have taken me to. The reviews are not professional and definitely not worth putting into a book review assignment for school! They are just a string of words that tell you what I felt when I travelled to a certain place. If it suits you, you go and book yourself a trip. If not, well...we'll keep it there!

A Portrait of the Artist as a Young ManA Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man by James Joyce
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Maybe, just maybe, this book was lost on me but I had the most terrible time finishing it! It's brilliant till about Chapter 3 and then you hit a snag! The narrative loses its charm and also much of its lyrical quality, too.

No, I don't think Joyce's writing style is difficult! I think it becomes vague and virtually non-existent! It's like the poor man had fever and was writing deliriously.

If it wasn't for the first two and the last chapter, I would have thrown this book away. The stars are for the three chapters.
