100 word review: The Waves

The first time I tried to read this book, I gave up. I just couldn't get to grips with Virginia Woolf's stream-of-consciousness style. However, I tried again and this time I finished it. It's a very short novel and a very interesting observation of life. On the manuscript of the novel, Woolf wrote 'the author would be glad if the following pages were not read as a novel' and you really do have to do just that. I didn't like the style but if you should read anyway if you like Woolf's novels and because some people love this style.
