Review by LallaGatta – The Essex Serpent by Sarah Perry

Sad and hopeless.

That's what it felt like to me. I'm not sure I understand the point this book is trying to make, though I appreciate the portrayal of the women''s conditions during that period. In many ways, it reminded me of Howarrd's End by E.M. Forster, especially in the rendering of the female characters and in their stubborn pursuit of martyrdom for whatever greater cause they believed in, whether self-sacrifice or social justice. One thing is sure: I wouldn't have liked to live in those Victorian times, particularly had I been a woman!

A definite waste of my time!

I cannot begin to recite what I don't like about Korian: The Manian's Spear by Giorgio Garofalo. An evident lack of imagination far too reminiscent of many other tales ranks high on my list, further worsened by a plethora of undeveloped characters, of repeated words, and of fragmentations in the writing style.
