I know this is supposed to be a really great (hence its inclusion on the 100 Best Books list), but I really didn't love it. Plot is secondary. There isn't much dialogue or action. It's largely introspective thoughts and philosophical musings of all the characters. It also feels unrealistic in the ending when suddenly everything is okay between Mr. Ramsay and his children who have always had a difficult relationship.
It is short and good to read just because of Woolf's influence and ability. But it is kind of boring, too, so be warned.
