boorrito 's review for:

The Charioteer by Mary Renault
5.0

I got this book dramatically knocked out of my hands and sent flying down a tube carriage while reading it on my commute, which is the most avant-garde book criticism I've ever expected (or a guy with an over-excited laptop bag, your pick). The guy sitting next to me joked that he thought the book was over-rated after witnessing this. My dude, this book is severely underrated, and I'm glad I wasn't reading the last hundred pages on my commute because it kicked my ass.

An incredible book. Dangerous to read in public. Read it and read between the lines.
