Erewhon by Samuel Butler

2.0

Oh dear, I found most of Samuel Butler's Erewhon to be really boring. I enjoyed the brief part at the start when the protagonist is working at a high country station farming sheep. The descriptions were beautiful & it certainly reads as if its set in the Canterbury high country, where Butler spent a few years. Once the protagonist goes on his adventure & finds Erewhon, the story turns into a collection of essays satirising Victorian beliefs. Fair enough, but unfortunately the essays were super boring.
