A review by aurorepersy
The Spire by William Golding

3.0

The themes and symbols of this story make the most interesting features. The narrative style, whose most prominent device is the use of stream-of-consciousness, which convincingly enough leads us into the descent into madness of Jocelin, gets really difficult to follow. I know it’s the whole point of the device here, but there are sometimes simply not enough bearings to be able to keep reading efficiently and piece things together as a reader should nonetheless be able to do.
