A review by itsjustcam
Henry Henry by Allen Bratton

2.0

TW: incest, explicit sex, drug addiction, eating disorders, self-harm, I could go on. Interesting premise; wretched execution. I made myself finish this to see how far into the Henriad the story meandered (not even to the end of Henry IV, Part 1 by my estimation). So, so many horrible, unlikable people behaving inexplicably in this book, most of whom were named Henry. I never figured out who the important Richard actually was. Second star is for some memorable turns of phrase.
