kimwedlock 's review for:

Elric of Melniboné by Michael Moorcock
3.0

Difficult to get into and the characters feel very thin, but I found myself intrigued all the same and finish it keen to pick up the next.
The author's use of parentheses is a bit jarring, and the lack of commas in some full paragraphs as well as the lack of contractions in speech makes it all needlessly more tedious.
The story, however, was good enough to keep me involved and I've already got The Fortress of the Pearl ready on my bedside table.
