Henrik Ibsen: A Doll\'s House (2006, Hard Press) 4 stars

Review of "A Doll\\'s House" on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

A surprising banger. Well written, short, great characters, and what I assume is a groundbreaking plot for the time. Makes me wonder just how many modern thought processes we take for granted started out as a simple story that tackles the way we always thought of things.

What bothered me is just how much set up there was for a certain event, only for it to happen in what I consider a very lazy way. It just happened. The main character figures out something, and makes a cold, rational choices contrary to all of her traits shown so far. This is my main gripe. The author clearly had a point to convey, a status quo to challenge so much he got over-eager.

Overall an enjoyable read, I'd equate it to eating at a 5 star restaurant, having great meals, only for the signature dish to disappoint you in the end.
