Review: W. Somerset Maugham - Of Human Bondage (1915)

To be honest, for much of the book, I wasn't really quite sure what I was reading, where the story was going. I knew it was a story centered around the main character, Philip Carey, but for some reason I legitimately thought he would descend into a lifestyle of debauchery or something lol (misinterpretation of the title, I suppose).

I'd say this book was about a boy (later a man) in his pursuit of love and home. To be honest, I didn't find the main character very likable, but he was rich and fortunate enough to have done some interesting things in his life.

Spoilers.
