¡Finally read my first Virginia Woolf book! Now I am quite afraid of her! The prose is divine, so it certainly was a pleasure to read, despite having that clear stream of consciousness style. However, I could not follow the story at all! There are not any chapters or even paragraph breaks. When the point of view changes, it goes largely unnoticed (¿Who is Septimus?). Compound that ambiguity with the loosely structured story, abrupt ending, and gibberish is all that is left. This sums up to a pleasant bit of nonsense, unrecommendable.
If this really is Woolf's most famous work, I will not be visiting her again...
