Of Human Bondage
Having originally rated this book four stars, I rated it up on returning to write a review. And let me tell you, that doesn't often happen to me.When I was reading Of Human Bondage, I wasn't always happy with it. Happy is not the word. Sometimes I felt exasperated, ashamed, angry - not with the writer, with the hero. And that's exactly what you feel when thinking of your own younger self and mistakes you made. In following the story of Philip Carey you identify with him and live his life over again with him - and it is as real as your own recollections, excites as many regrets, doubts, and twitches of pain. This book is life itself, and what more can you say?
