A review by leventmolla
The Monk by Matthew Gregory Lewis

2.0

This book is a disappointment for me. Written in late 18th century, it is describing the extraordinary events around a Monk and several female characters. These extraordinary events include rape, murder, ghosts, priests molesting young girls and similar stuff, which are not really extraordinary in the 21st century, but have caused a stir when the book was published in the 18th century.

The writing style is very archaic, so I found it difficult to concentrate and follow.
