To Calais, in Ordinary Time by James Meek

1.0

I could not finish this pretentious, plodding, awful book. It should be interesting and entertaining but it really makes my head ache and I also didn’t give a flying f about any of the characters it’s just awful. The writing is atrocious and the quote at the front from Hilary Mantel is just plain rude and insulting. Sorry but this author is trying to big himself up by saying that if we stick to the olde English as close as possible no one will see how crap my story is. It’s boring and dull and I am really disappointed by it.
