Finally, finally, finally I have read this book!!!!! I now can see why it was banned when it was written. It would have been considered risqué and rebellious on so many levels. If you have never read it then make it a priority. What a beautiful book.

I slogged through the first half of this book and finally gave up. It's just stultifyingly dull. I was reading it as one of those classics that everybody has read, and I remember liking Lawrence's The Rainbow in college, but life is too short for me to bother finishing this one.

Lots of typos and punctuation errors in this kindle edition but not so terrible that you can't read around them. Book itself- classic and a very interesting portrayal of life and issues in post-WWI England. More explicit than expected, but I didn't mind. :)

Interesting that this book was band in England as being too erotic. By today's standards it is really mild stuff, but it is avery worthwhile read and tells of the Social Rank system in WWI post war period.

An unexpurgated version that was not allowed for publishing until 1960, this book really is a classic. It describes the physical and emotional relationship between an upper-class lady and a working class common with explicit descriptions. It showed her great courage to rebel against the society and her disabled and stuffy husband who was paralyzed from the waist down. Her sexual frustration drove her into the affair of a gamekeeper. The book strongly suggested that love between two sexes was more in physical instead of being in mind that obviously was considered as unacceptable 100 years ago. If you love a classic, this book is a must read.

The use of comic strips lamely summarizing scenes from D.H. Lawrence's "Lady Chatterley's Lover" came as an unwelcome surprise. The edition itself is excellent, with a fine introduction, authoritative text, maps, notes, and bibliography. But the cover (and a gratuitous list of women the author is alleged to have shagged) is more than disgraceful. What conceivable purpose does this serve? The marketing people at Penguin should think twice before defacing a classic text in this way.

A nice, successful, slightly amusing--and possibly erotic if she ever gets around to reading it--gift book for my dear sweet (and sexy) lady who had not read it but who referred to herself from time to time as "chattering."

Consatance is marry to Clifford who is paralysed. There is no sexual relation between them. She had an affair with Oliver who leads her into sexual realization. Oliver was a worker and she belongs to the upper class.

Does truth and honesty solve the problems of class consciousness and class difference? Can human sexuality be healthy? Will aristocracy and elite power make our lives miserable? This book illuminates our human condition.
I hope to read it again. This book was good at age 19, better at 65.
