Review of "The Ladies of Grace Adieu"

Last week, I really did not enjoy reading the short story "The Ladies of Grace Adieu." I was one of the students in class who were dismissing the story as terrible, and my argument for this was that I just "didn't like" the story. I was thinkning about it after class, and was trying to think of the reason why I simply did not like this story. After much thought and consideration I think that the reason why I did not like this story was because of the boring pace and the uninteresting characters of this story.

I do not think that there is one character in this story that I identified with or became attached to. I thought that although Casandra is supposed to be spunky and fiery, she just comes off as droll. And all of the other female characters are really boring, and I feel that everything that they say is just tedious to read. To be honest, I have no interest in reading the dull things that these dull characters have to say.
