caroline__h 's review for:

The Magic Mountain by Thomas Mann
2.0

Trying to summarize the plot of this book would be missing the point, which is that Thomas Mann is an Intellectual and doesn’t tire of reminding his readers of that fact—not for (in my German edition) 982 pages. Unfortunately, I very much tired of being reminded and had to force myself to finish the book. Two stars because there are some genuinely affecting and beautifully written scenes, but I’m glad to be done with it.
