A review by allenfarm
The Beguiled by Thomas Cullinan

3.0

This book was really slow. The author wrote all of the women in the story as naive, simpering, foolish girls. Only so much can be explained by the time period. There was nothing beguiling about Johnny and yet they all believed him with little question. Told in interview style with various points of view, there was a lot of internal musings and not a lot of dialogue. One of the few books that I think would make a better movie.
