A review by mclean_watson
The Legend of Sleepy Hollow by Washington Irving
3.0
Happy Halloween! I’ve decided that going forward on this book journey I’m also gonna use these reviews as a kind of book review journal that also records how I’m doing and what was happening when I finished each book, now into the review.
As many do I finally got around to reading “The Legend Of Sleepy Hollow” I was surprised at how short the story was. The copy I got was a condensed version. So I opted to listening to the audiobook version.
And I really was surprised. I’ve always though this was just about the headless horseman, but I was really really wrong. This is a tale more funny and crude than spooky. And I was going to keep this spoiler free but I really wanna talk about the main character, more specifically how he acted and the fate he fell upon.
I couldn’t spell his name correctly even if I tried, so for the review I’ll call itchyboat. Itchyboat was a bastard straight up, a good snake who had a thing for screwing around with married women and their daughters. And he was a prick until the bitter end. Even when he was challenged to fight with the strong guy he tried to play it cool. But when faced the the headless horseman of sleepy hollow, his sharp tounge was no match. And I’d like to think he got sent to some sort of hellish limbo.
Overall a decent read for Halloween. Can’t wait to finish “Last Days” and start on something a bit shorter. Because my big book for November will be “11/22/63”.
