Reviews for Moll Flanders

Review - Moll Flanders

Written in an unemotional style that gives no clues to Moll except for her willingness to do anything to avoid poverty. She is unlikeable for several reasons, such as her self-justification, her willingness to abandon her children and her knowledge of what her actions are doing to those around her. In short, she's a whore in every way. The writing is boring and unclimatic.
