A review by tricky
Zuleika Dobson by Max Beerbohm
3.0
A satire featuring a femme fatale who lays waste to the young men of Oxford.
There were moments of the book that are hilarious and then there were bits that just seemed to endlessly drag. I understand the brilliance of the book but I found the story just a little dull at times.
The language is wonderful, the need to use a dictionary was nice as I come across words I had not encountered for before.
Read it and decide for yourself. I found parts of the book a struggle but there are sections that are just clever and entertaining.
