A review by quoththegirl
Shardik by Richard Adams

2.0

I adored Watership Down more than words can say. Shardik, alas, was not nearly so enthralling. It was, in fact, really disappointing. Why, Richard Adams, why?? I guess it could be good, if you're someone else, but I just found it all exceedingly boring and not compelling. I could tell I was supposed to be compelled. I dunno. Maybe if I'd read it for a class where we could've thrashed out the symbolism, I would've enjoyed it more. As it was, I dragged through it at a snail's pace and felt like I'd collapsed after running a marathon when I finally did finish it.
