A review by eososray
Restoration by Rose Tremain
3.0
I liked the beginning best. It was funny and engaging. The obvious feature of the character is his insatiable love of women. As the book is in first person, he is constantly talking about it. Some is a little disturbing and some is very funny.
One of his favorite paramours calls her parts The Thing and that gets a fair amount of repetition in various ways.
Strangely, none of it put me off, I found it a well told and amusing story.
The book is split into 3 volumes and the second and third ones, while still telling a good story, didn't catch my imagination as much as they only tell his story of surviving without the King and what he does.
It's not nearly as entertaining as the first part as he's not as irreverent while he's learning to live in the 'real' world.
