Elizabeth’s Reviews > A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man > Status Update

I struggled at times, the rants against religion toward the end were a little trying. I also found "stream of consciousness" a bit confusing on a number of occasions (when I was quite tired) as I am not as familiar with Irish culture and history as I'd like to be. The book was an innovative masterpiece. I learned much about style and language, and will be reading more Joyce.
