Titus Groan

This book was a chore. I kept at it, hoping it would at some point offer up something more respectful of the time endorsement it required, but nothing came. Every character says every line of dialogue twice, for some reason. Perhaps two or three things happened in total. Maybe this is the kind of book that may have been right to be written, but not so much one to be read.

That's a very scathing paragraph, so here are some things I liked: I enjoyed how specific the descriptions were of the characters. I enjoyed the characters' eccentricities. I also liked Saul Reichlin's narration.

I will say one more thing. Having finished both Titus Groan and The Bible, I'm pretty sure I could finish any book now.
