A review by cody240fc
Hangover Square by Patrick Hamilton

4.0

A novel of contradictions. George is a sympathetic figure who also happens to be a schizo with murderous tendencies. The story is beautifully written but the characters are so villainous that you sometimes feel like you’ve had enough. The ending is fantastic but you wonder if Hamilton would have done better to end it twenty pages earlier. You love “Hangover Square” but you’re not sure you would recommend it to friends.

Screw it. It’s great. Read it.
