Akhenaten: Dweller in Truth a Novel by Naguib Mahfouz
fast-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? No
- Loveable characters? No
- Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated
2.0
Not my cup of tea. Told through a biographical lens, with the framing device of a young man interviewing influential members of Akhenaten's court (each chapter is from one of their perspectives), I ultimately found the prose uninteresting and lackluster, and very preachy.
