The Awakening was a very uninteresting novel. Before I was done read the first half of the book I had already began to grow extremely bored with it. Although I did notice that it sped up at the second half but I still did not enjoy it. It would take too long to get to the point of something. It seemed to be procrastinating a little and with the short attention span that I have, the book just didn’t interest me. Also, parts of the novel were just confusing. For example, when Edna swims out to the ocean. What is that supposed to even mean? Were women not able to swim that far out? The novel, to me, seemed more like a description of a normal person’s life over a period of time. There was no excitement in it so nothing in it really caught my attention. It was just a plain, boring text. It was basically a painting with no color. I wouldn’t recommend it because I don’t see anyone that I know enjoying this type of book because I didn’t enjoy it. There might be some people in the world (I don’t know who) that have and/or will enjoy this novel but it was just not my type of reading. If I were to choose to read this again, I wouldn’t and if I could go back in time and stop myself from reading it, I would.
