briartherose 's review for:

Fellside by M. R. Carey

DID NOT FINISH: 65%

---

I tried, man. I really tried. The beginning was so good, so compelling, but the pace turns to absolute sludge as soon as we get to the prison. I don't care about the prison hierarchy, I don't care about the corrupt guards, and I REALLY don't care about the corrupt doctor. This book should have been half the length and we probably wouldn't be here.
