Book Excerpt: 
. . .bin where, to make a table, a board had been swung between the backs of the second and third benches from the front on the left side of the aisle. Thus the three men sat on the front bench with their legs thrust through between seat and back, while the three women sat in dignity and comfort on the fourth bench. Susan thought the dinner by no means justified Miss Anstruther's pessimism. It was good in itself, and the better for being in this happy-go-lucky way, in this happy-go-lucky company. Once they got started, all the grouchiness disappeared. Susan, young and optimistic and determined to be pleased, soon became accustomed to the looks of her new companions—that matter of mere exterior about which we shallow surface-skimmers make such a mighty fuss, though in the test situations of life, great and small, it amounts to precious little. They were all human beings, and the girl was unspoiled, did not think of them as failures, half-wolves, of no social posit. . . Read More

I really enjoyed this story. Very powerful, and quite insightful. Susan is a human being and you feel that. However, there are plenty of times that it feels slow to progress. The author breaks off and philosophizes at the worst times, just when Susan's life is at the verge of major change. All in al

I'm hard pressed to figure out how to rate this book, in some ways, it's quite good, in others, rather tedious. It could use some serious editing, as the author goes on a bit much. The story itself is interesting and keeps one's attention pretty well. The social attitudes that drive the story would

This book was considered "pornographic" when it was published in 1917. The title character, Susan Lenox, falls into prostitution as her only means of survival on the mean streets of New York City. Her strength of character and determination help her to rise again, eventually (surprisingly) to succee

I would have enjoyed this book much more if it was edited to half its' length by removing the mind numbing repetition of events. She's up and down and up and down and up and do.. Made me want to tear out the middle part of the book and replace it with "This lady here, though portrayed as fairly inte

This one reminds me of one of those 12 part Netflix things. You know, the one that starts slow but interesting, with a compelling lead character and a decent series of incidents that keeps the plot rolling along. But by part 7 or 8,it feels like the heroine hasn’t learned anything, the incidents in

I was halfway through this book when I realized I sort of hated it but by then I was involved and I need to know what eventually happened to Susan Lenox.
When I finally found out what happened to her, I realized I didn't care.
This book was VERY long and VERY repetitive.
It was exhausting how many ti

Back in 1997, Ray Lewis White gave me this novel and asked me to "read and report." It was a thousand pages long so I didn't get around to it until just now. Ray Lewis is long gone, but I still feel the urge to report. This novel, published posthumously in 1917, was written by a muckraking journalis
