Publisher Description

Lady Chatterley's husband returns from the War paralysed from the waist down. Frustrated by his attitudes as much as his disability, she begins a love-affair with the gamekeeper, Mellors. She realises that to be fully alive she must live the life of the body as well as the mind, but in doing so she angers the conventions of her day. Banned for over 30 years for the explicit nature of its language and descriptions of sex, Lady Chatterley's Lover also exposes the dehumanisation of the mechanical age, and underlines the profound power of tenderness.

    " I read this book because I have been trying to read some of the "classics" and also because it was a banned book and I wanted to see what the hype was about. For the time it was written it was definitely racy with lots of f*** and c*** words scattered throughout. There are plenty of sex scenes. Lawrence does look at the class issue and the difference between men and women in this book and makes you think about how things were and how far we have come, although some things really haven't changed. Parts of the book were utterly boring. I'm not sure I would recommend it to my friends. "

    " I now understand why this book was "revolutionary" for its time, it really discussed how sex and passion plays in the life of a woman quite liberally. The book was just okay for me, though. "

    " I might give this one two and a half stars. There were parts that I liked, and parts that annoyed me. I'm not sure that I can put into words my thoughts on this book. "

    " I think the hype around the story ruined this for me because I expected more and felt a bit disappointed. Having said that, I enjoyed the story and the excellent character descriptions. "

    " Read this with a book group on BarnesandNoble.com about 9 years ago. It was really good. It's interesting to see what was considered risque back then compared to today. "

    " I stopped reading this book due to a lack of relevance. In a post-sexual-revolution world, this novel comes across as pandering, paternalistic, and generally distasteful. I'm sure it was groundbreaking in it's day, but I don't care to read it. "

    " Read many years ago, but a classic bit of titillation, though tame by modern standards :) "
