Book Reviews of The Sorrows of Young Werther (Modern Library Classics)
Book Review: Haunting and relatable
Summary: 5 Stars
The Sorrows of Young Werther is an everchanging book. At first, Werther despises people who are the depressed kind. Later, he becomes one of them himself. And it is all because of one woman. He is very good friends with her, and is always longing for more. The problem is, she is not interested in him that way, and she is married. The transition of Werther's outgoing cheerful personality is almost immediate. He becomes more and more withdrawn. Almost anyone knows the ending, if they have read the back of this book. One of my favorite things about this tragic story is how it is told in the ninetinth century speak, which I had to adjust to, being only fifteen. It is worth the trouble though, and is frighteningly relatable. Who on earth hasn't liked someone who just wanted to be friends? This book fully deserves five stars.
