daaan 's review for:

The Charterhouse of Parma by Stendhal

1.0

Could not do this one at all. What a disappointment. The Red and the Black was a fantastic read, I can hardly tell that these ar by the same author. I bailed quickly, this is written in that tiresome style where paragraphs are stacked on paragraphs telling us what the action is rather than helping us to experience it. Just flat, dull, turgid, awful prose.
