"Jacob's Room" by Virginia Woolf

"Jacob's Room" is not about the story of Jacob Flanders as it is about the character as told from different characters' perspectives. The style is experimental, and there is something special in the way an artist like Woolf tries to do something different with the novel form, because by doing so it helps to keep the form alive. As a novel, however, I didn't find it nearly as enjoyable as the other works of hers that I have read, including "Mrs. Dalloway" and "To the Lighthouse." I don't feel like I really know who Jacob Flanders is, or any of the other characters for that matter. Despite the fact that it is written from different perspectives, Woolf's voice remains the same throughout. I don't think there is really any reason why anyone would enjoy this novel, unless you are a die-hard fan of Woolf and Experimentalist or Modernist literature.
