A review by katherinejayne
Engleby by Sebastian Faulks

1.0

After reading Birdsong a couple of years ago, Faulks left a great impression on me. However, this really was not to my taste. The narrator is difficult to empathise with and is qute obnoxious. Faulks did a great job of getting a reaction from the reader but it really does not feel worth it at all. It's taken me ages to finish this and has put me off reading for a good couple of weeks. The ending is anti-climatic. Nothing of great surprise occurs. Yet I persisted because I thought it might.
