A review by readingsengi
Shardik by Richard Adams

3.0

Not bad, and some powerfully visceral writing (particularly in the end section). There were quite a few needlessly complex similes though, which is one of my pet hates. You know, the sort where "His eyes were green like leaves, but not like ordinary leaves, like the leaves the man sees after a long homecoming on a particular Tuesday in October, but only if he's facing towards the west after he's abandoned the love of his life. That green."
