A review by ronanmcd
Arthur & George by Julian Barnes

5.0

Loved every bit of this. The first half of it is masterful. Slowly you can feel the conspiracy drawing in. The second half feels glossed over, hurried, by comparison. However were it a book in its own right, it would not seem so fast.
I read this over the Christmas holidays. I had planned to watch either the 39 Steps or the Great Train Robbery. This was the match of both for entertainment, and surpassed them as books do over films in almost every other way.
