Orlando takes an interesting concept and does absolutely nothing worthwhile or interesting while boring the reader to death with the purplest of prose. As a bonus, there is a plethora of racial slurs and colonialist sentiment.

There is a moderate use of derogatory language and views to minorities in this book and the use of slurs of which include the n-word. I wasn’t warned or told about this before buying or reading so I would like to warn especially black people that use of those slurs are in there. This knowledge is then up to you if you wish to read the book.
