Editorial Review of Sons and Lovers (Dover Thrift Editions)
Torn between his passion for two women as well as his abiding attachment to his mother, Paul Morel struggles with his desire to please everyone — particularly himself. Lawrence's highly autobiographical novel unfolds against the backdrop of his native Nottinghamshire coal fields, amidst a working-class family dominated by a brutish father and a loving but overbearing mother.
Customer Reviews of Sons and Lovers (Dover Thrift Editions)

Review Summary: Nothing like a mother's love
Review: The say there's nothing like the love of a mother for her son, but in this novel by D.H Lawrence, the bond between mother and son cannot be broken. As Paul fails miserably at finding the support in the arms of other women, his mother is the only one that will provide for him. Paul questions his worth and his purpose in life and struggles with the dealing and experience in living in the real world. When Paul's mother become ill from cancer, Paul experiences a growing resentment at her weakening condition, realizing that without her, his life has no meaning to continue on.
Sons and Lovers start very slow and boring throughout most of the beginning. Once the novel starts to introduce more people, the novel will become more interesting. After getting to know Paul in the novel, the reader starts to wonder if there will be any similarities between them. The middle section of the novel will have more action and fights through relationships between the characters. The ending becomes a passionate section and a very depressing one too. Paul's mother passes away and Paul feels like joining her too. A lot of hearts get broken and will leave the reader reflecting more on the reader's life.
