A review by angus_mckeogh
Melmoth by Sarah Perry

1.0

Let’s hope this one works out; I’ve made the classic mistake of buying both of Perry’s books before reading either of them because they both sounded interesting and the first one was highly lauded and popular. Then I’ve read her second book first because it sounded phenomenal and was the shorter of the two. Unfortunately I found it uneventful, slow-going and I didn’t enjoy it at all. Now I’m stuck with the problem of reading her first book. Do I? Or should I cut my loses and put it in the resale box?
