A review by mayefrati
Merrick by Anne Rice

3.0

This book started off so well and I really enjoyed the atmosphere of everything surrounding Merrick but as the plot progressed I’ve come to actively dislike David, he feels old fashioned, misogynistic and worst of all: a little bit of a pedophile. Towards the end of the book I felt a real roller coaster of emotions regarding Louis, I feel like he did things that were very unfitting for his character as it had felt up until that point and he felt just like a puppet to the other characters in the end…
But I’m giving three stars for atmosphere, writing style, appreciation for this literary universe and the first half of the book.
