What Maisie Knew

Accurate to the point of caricature, but sadly this is how children are used as ammunition in the battles amongst adults. Still quite funny tho, but with the many allusions i found myself at times as lost as poor Maisie.

I really liked the past Henry James novels I've read, so I had high hopes for this one. Unfortunately, it was a major letdown. I could barely get through this novel and if I didn't have to read it for a class, I would definitely have DNFed it. I can see how it has some critical acclaim and the interesting facets of the story, but it was such a drawn-out and bland storyline that I was bored the whole way through.
