jo961blue 's review for:
The Figure in the Carpet
by Henry James
Weeellll... Not sure really. I hadn't read any Henry James and I though this might be a good introduction to see if I'd like to read more of his work. Answer: probably not. It is beautifully written and that is a joy, but I did find the minutiae of the riddle (I wouldn't call it a mystery) irritating and the obsession of the characters even more so. I felt like shouting "there is a world out there...in the grand scheme of things this is of zero importance". So, no. Not my kind of thing, despite a love of the art of that age. Despite the joys of something well written. No.
