A review by dianais
Fiul cuvintelor by Iris Murdoch

challenging reflective tense slow-paced

3.0

 Although exquisite in writing style and character description, the general frustration this book brought was too much for me to give it a higher rating. The beginning and the end are definitely too long, with many unnecessary explanations and internal monologues. If Hilary would have been a nicer, more relatable character I might have enjoyed them but since he's stupid and arrogant, I cannot. The ending is also disappointing through its boring predictability.
