martip5 's review for:
The Essex Serpent
by Sarah Perry
Never judge a book by its cover, I guess. Even when the cover is gorgeous. I didn’t really enjoy the structure and the redundant stereotypes about the historical period this was supposed to be set in. It really does feel like a contemporary view of a past era, with characters hard to connect to given they don’t really feel like people. From the empty and predictable dialogue to uninspiring descriptions, I’m not sure I could give it any more than 2 stars.
