A review by shahrun
Arthur & George by Julian Barnes

4.0

The subject matter was a fascinating surprise for me. I certainly felt for George, as someone with a similar genetic make up Who is living now I experience much of the same (minus the penal servitude). I used to love reading Sherlock Holmes books as a child, but knew nothing of the author so this book was a great starting point to broaden my knowledge. For subject matter I had no previous experience of, I felt the author did a great job or imagining what went on. It all felt very authentic. It was just a bit dry. I was enjoying reading it but didn’t feel compelled to zip through it.
