A review by ranchel
The Ordeal of Gilbert Pinfold by Evelyn Waugh

3.0

My brother recommended I read The Ordeal of Gilbert Pinfold, and I wish I'd skimmed the first few pages or actually read a synopsis of the book before picking it up. It's not that this book is boring or awful in anyway. It's just weird. It's a weird story about a man who mixes his medication (or has a psychotic break, it's not actually clear which) and begins hallucinating. The hallucinations are bland and, as a result, the entire book is bland. I was unimpressed but I didn't actually dislike the book.
