The Great and Secret Show by Clive Barker

1.0

---

This is a book a friend leant me years ago, saying it was his "favorite book". Always up for a literary adventure (and not good at giving up on things I start), I took the plunge, even if years after he handed it to me. Different from what I usually read? Absolutely. Off the wall nonsensical? Indeed. Outlandish and hard to follow plot for the sake of weird? Afraid so. Characters that just aren't realistic on any level? Bingo. Super lengthy for no good reason? Unfortunately. Not really my cup of tea, though I did try.
