Meandering at best, but an interesting story. However, I would be more keen to see the film rather than read it again

A beautiful and eye-opening exploration of change and gender through the witty and beautiful print of Woolfe. I loved every second. Each page had beautifully crafted metaphors, poetry, and humour.

I studied the film in highschool and really enjoyed it. Reading the book, I found that I had to let a lot of the references go over my head, but the experience was still enjoyable overall.
smuds2's review against another edition
This book seemed a lot harder to digest than Ms. Dalloway -- not to say it's worse or anything -- but I don't think I could possibly say anything helpful about it after just one read.
There are some things I noticed that on my next read I will focus on -- how environment and external conditions shape people (i.e. clothes you wear, the century you're in, the the people you are around). Butterflies. Materialism. Obviously gender and presentation. Water and humidity. The impossibility of knowing the full scope of others experiences (i.e. Orlando said she never understood sasha until she was a woman).
