Lady Chatterley's Lover Audiobook

" Loved the poetry aspect. "

" I'm still reading Lady Chatterly's Lover. I was interested in it because it was so controversial. Now that I'm reading it, I can see just why it was so controversial, and I'm not sure if I truly want to continue with it. At least now I know what all the fuss was about. Well written and a keen insight into various views and opinions of love versus sex versus territory. It really is rather thought-provoking . . . actually, the more I write about it, the more I think I really will continue to read it. 'Tis all. "

" What do women want from a man ? Read this book to find out. "

" It is no longer a taboo to talk about sex I think. And the pursuit of a wonderful sex life is totally justified. Though it leaves behind the issue of marriage being a bondage by God. "

" It reminded me a great deal of Thoreau. She went into the woods because she wished to live deliberately, to feel and touch, and to breath in the vitality of life. "

" What I find to be the most interesting thing about this book is how sex precedes love. It's not something of the "norm," yet in this mechanical setting of today, depicted by Lawrence, it all works out. "

" 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. "

" After reading this novel, I wonder if its gained a place on so many bookshelves merely because of the shock it created when it was first published. The writing is lyrical, if a bit archaic. And perhaps because of Lawrence's rather formal writing style his sexually charged descriptions seem especially appalling. This book may be one of the first true romance novels - and maybe it would be better left on the shelf next to Danielle Steel than grouped among the classics. Despite all the steamy sex and copious use of the 'f word', this was a slow and rather dull read. "

" I only read the dirty parts of this. :) "

" Crazy to think how much controversy it caused and how tame it is by modern standards. "

" Sexy and surprisingly romantic, this is an adult book both in terms of the racy material and the ideas. Although it dragged in a few parts, and I glazed over during some of the discussions of class, I appreciated that Constance and Oliver were not passive players in their lives, but actively determined their outcome by pursuing happiness, even outside the bounds of "propriety." Worth the read, not just for the pretty cover on my edition. "

" As a teenager, this book was sooo romantic and racy! "

" Banned Book Week Book 1 "

" It helped to finally end Queen Victoria's reign in Britain in the 60's "

" So boring, especially for a book banned until the 1960s in some places. "

" Ok. it's a classic book. I just despise the idea of cheating. although one of the character said that both Lady Chatterley and her husband are right on their own way, it just doesn't feel right for me. "

" I know this is a classic - but I simply could not get into it. I found it very dry and tedious to read. I spent more time trying to figure out what they were talking about then enjoying what I was reading. Too many metaphors for all the sexual activity. "

" One of the sweetest, sincerest, most moving love stories I have ever read. "

" Highly tantalizing. . .of course nothing like Ann Rice's "Sleeping Beauty". More settle with a romantic scandal. "

" Porn to upset the critics. Lawrence can't write prose. Bavarian Gentians is good though. "

" Put simply: a vintage tale of two adulterous F buddies, but with all the corresponding gender stereotypes ("I am a man! I don't talk about feelings!" and "I am an emotional woman! I want a baby!") of that era. Still amazing to think this book was published when it was, though, so for an extra challenge, try reading it in the mindset of that period. "

" This book was surprisingly filthy. I didn't expect quite so many fairly graphic sex scenes. But in addition to lady chatterly getting down, there are also some interesting ruminations of the collapse of the coal industry and some beautifully written descriptive passages. ure and "

" According to me it's really good and at least you can improve your knowledge as well.. "

" One of my favorite classics! "

" i like lawrence...whatever he has ever written "

" Not sure if I'll finish... "

" What an interesting book -- about finding pure connection. Maybe not as good as some of his other novels in the literary sense, but he's passionate about his subject here (no pun intended). The sex scenes got a little florid, but ulimately this was a moving and uplifting book. "

" Fantastic book. A must-read for everyone. "

" I adore this book and I've read it twice! I actually came across the British tv mini-series of this book, and it was amazing! I've watched it several times as well! "

" Great perspective on love and love making from a woman's point of view and a viral strong man. Who knew how to please. Lot of young men learn a lot from him. "

" I can get better smut elswhere. I need to go back and read it for content. :) Written in an older more prosaic style, it is a slowmoving narrative. "

" I liked this one. It was an interesting look at books deemed obscene. "

" Despite the controversy the book stirs up among feminist critics, I always love reading this older style of writing. "

" I really loved this. It was so hard to get into something afterwards because it was so good. Beautifully written and contraversial. A great read. "

" A woman, her desires, her freedom to choose and enjoy and love, finally a man who got the guts! to rite about a woman crachter to enjoy sex and desire.....all the other writers would have had lady Chatterly dead for her actions. Revolutionary book for the time it has been published. "

" Lovely. I have all the naughty parts marked "

" It's like someone decided to discuss as many binary opposites as possible and stuck them in a novel. "

" I liked it and I decided to read more of D.H. Lawrence. "

" Read in spanish and I disliked it a lot! "

" This book, for the time it was written, was outlandish and vulgar. Nowadays though, it's just another book. I suppose this means that even now, the book can make one ponder society and how it evolves. Overall the book is ok, though I was disappointed with the ending. "

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

" This book was a little dense with descriptions of various body parts, nature, and general scene-setting. But, it was one of the easiest reads of a "classic" novel. "

" Fantastic. Comparison of rich and poor is raw and realistic. Love and lust explored completely in an old fashioned away. Written in 1929 and banned in Boston. "But you want me to have my satisfaction , don't you?" Connie "

" read this waayyy back in my youth...it's on my to re-read list "

" I have now read this book a total of three times and each time at a different period of my life. This last time, I think, I finally understand what D.H. Lawrence was trying to convey. Read it and see what you think. "

" Really brilliant. The first couple of chapters were perhaps a little slow and repetitive, but the flow soon took over and what followed was magnificent. "

" None of the people in this book are likeable or especially interesting, and their conversations get repetitive. There are a lot of beautifully-written descriptions, unfortunately they tend to get lost among the main characters talking out the themes of the novel. "

" Racy, beautifully written work of literature. "

" I've never read D.H. Lawrence before, but based upon this novel, I'm guessing he didn't care too much for humanity. A bit too much existential angst / nihilism and talk about loins and haunches, but now I can say I've read it! "

" To sum it up, social lives always hide what we really are. The best way to be yourself, according to the writer, is to have an affair with someone who's different from you. "

" I had a difficult time starting the book and never thought I'd get past the first 100 pages. I enjoyed the storyline and could relate this book to modern times. Great piece of old literature, I can't believe I waited so long to read it. "

" Very raunchy but a good read. Again there is a focus on money v happiness an money never seems to prevail, which can be said for life too. I am glad the characters find happiness, sexually, romantically and hopefully happy ever after. "

" Very difficult read; large words I had to look up, and the book was steamy. Not exactly my favorite book of all time, but worth the read. "

" Liked it, though I expected something more... scandalous, what with all the fuss around this book. "

" Except for the sex I wasn't too enthralled. Of course, I was a teenaged male. Date read is a guess. "

" I read all of Lawrence at the Community Park Swimming pool when I was 16 years old. I loved all of his books. So sensual, but I was so young I should reread. So many books and so little time. "

" It was ok, but not that racy!!! It took me a while to get to grips with it. The 'sex' thats in it is brief and hard to find. "
