bukukurasi 's review for:

The Patrick Melrose Novels by Edward St. Aubyn
2.0

I watched the adaptation a couple of years ago, I loved it. I felt sorry for Patrick Melrose for all of the miseries he must experienced in his life. So when I accidentally found this book in a used bookstore, I didn't hesitate to grab it. But, well, turns out, this book is one the most disturbing book I've read. I know from the series it is about addiction, rape, incest, and everything about the rich english snobs and racists, but the word crafting is just dull and tiring. The scriptwriter did an excellent job.
