evamadera1 's review for:
Walden and Civil Disobedience
by Henry David Thoreau
I can sum the book up in one word: "pompous." Throughout this book it is patently obvious that Thoreau thinks quite a lot of himself, his ideas and his little pond. The narrative meanders with no constructive purpose. The reader is hard pressed to discern a purpose for the book much less the supporting points for that purpose. This is one of those well-known classics to which I pose the following question. How on earth did this become a classic. I finish the book thinking "why bother?"
That's not much of a recommendation.
If one is motivated to read the classics, this is a must even if I believe it to be a chore. Other than that, I absolutely do not recommend the book.
