Aneel reviewed The worm Ouroboros by Eric Rücker Eddison
Review of 'The worm Ouroboros' on 'Goodreads'
1 star
Amazon suggested this while I was looking at the page for Gormenghast. Sounds interesting...
...Interesting to read. Seems to be trying to be almost Homeric. Lots of epithets and poetic description. I found it a little slow...
...I think I've given up on this. I keep starting other books instead of finishing it (always a bad sign), and I've noticed that when I do read it, I'm skimming over most of the description to get to the plot. Since there's a huge amount of description and fairly little plot, the exercise seems pointless...
