A review by quillyreads
The Gap of Time by Jeanette Winterson

2.0

Reviewing books I haven’t loved is hard. Maybe I am too much enamoured with Shakespeare but I found the retelling didn’t map well, and some additions seemed superfluous. I found the prose quite inelegant, again, perhaps I spend too much time burying my head in classics. Objectively I think this is more like a three star book. I think my problems also come from some small elements that just didn’t sit right with me, like the video game. And as a player couldn’t help find it grating because it just seemed the author didn’t know a thing about video games and their content. But perhaps that’s in the rather (deliberately) dislikable male characters.
