A review by 3genres
The Alexandria Quartet by Lawrence Durrell

3.0

Yawn. I guess you need to be in the right frame of mind to read this. I read it because it's supposed to be a "great" book. I found it boring and irritating. I have never seen the word mauve as many times in a book. Other reviewers talk about the poetic language. I found myself skimming over those passages to get. to. the. point. And all the male musings on "woman" and "women" were a bit much. Reminded me a lot of Atlas Shrugged; essays buried within a novel. The multiple perspectives were interesting.

I'm happy that I am at last finished with it and can move on to something with a plot.
