A review by thisotherbookaccount
Titus Groan by Mervyn Peake

A tiresome read, like wading through a sinkhole filled with words. Peake exchanged plot and characterisation for the mastery of the language. The result is an inch-by-inch description of a painting in Peake's head. Never trust a poet to write a book with anything that resembles a novel. I'd take a good book over a good literature any day.
