smeenge 's review for:

Washington Square by Henry James
2.0

The writing style is fluid and flowery.
The descriptions of the characters emotions well told.
The setup of the story and the suspense of the final resolution is executed cleanly.
And then you wait. You wait for something, anything of interest to happen. Finally, you arrive at the end and realize that the second half of the book was pointless. It walks you up to the spot where something interesting could happen, and it’s a long boring walk, and then it leaves you there unfulfilled.
