A review by rachisinwonderland
The Beast in the Jungle by Henry James

2.0

2.5*. I so badly wanted to enjoy this. I’m a big fan of James’ work and did my undergraduate dissertation on his ‘Watch and Ward’ and ‘The Portrait of a Lady’. I found this quite a tedious read, and although I liked the themes the novella explored, it seemed to drag on which I feel is not what a novella should do.
