nineteenthly 's review for:

Brighton Rock by Graham Greene
2.0

Another low rating from me I'm afraid but to give this some context, I read this as a set book at school and couldn't make head nor tail of it. It isn't notably dated, but I couldn't work out who were supposed to be the central characters and who were cardboard cutouts. To this end I was also annoyed at the events of the first chapter. My teacher and friends made various claims about the novel, none of which I could see. But, I'm not a fan of literary fiction and I didn't find my own way to this, so maybe in another world, in other circumstances, I could have made friends with it.
