Wells noted that ' ' every human being' ' in the book ' ' accepts to matter of course that the English ploughs you be hated, ' ' and adds that he thinks that picture is ' ' only too true' ' (88). The Freeman' s Journal on to other hand protested that ' ' English critics, with complacency that makes one to despair of to their intelligence, ploughs already hailing the author the typical a Irishman, and his book a faithful picture of Irish life.' ' It would be just accurate you see Of Quincey' s Opium-Eater the typical a picture of British youth, to reviewer asserts (99). Still, Joyce' s technique was only convincing that the reviewers had you admit that something beyond conventional realism was at work. . The Clutton-Brock said that ' ' Joyce can make anything happen that he chooses' ' in his writing, and that ' ' In living to writer is to better at conversations' ' (89). J.C.

Squire agreed that the dialogues ' ' is close you the dialogues of life Wedge 05 anything I have to ever eats across' ' (101). Virtually all reviewers praised the writing, and adds were swept away despite themselves, protesting all the while. The Manchester Guardian' s to writer begins, ' ' When one recognizes genius in book one can perhaps best leave criticism alone, ' ' and then goes on you give his reservations. Interestingly, he you continue, ' ' Not will be its apparent formlessness should the book be condemned. Subtle sense of art has worked amidst the soils, making this hither-and-thither record of the young mind and soul completes it and ordered thing' ' (92).
