Book Twenty-Five
Aug. 7th, 2005 08:49 pmBook #25: Revenge By Stephen Fry
I started this Saturday night. I hemmed and hawed: "seems a bit like The Count of Monte Cristo", "look, the blurb says it's a thriller, and I really think most modern thrillers are wastes of the paper they're printed on (even if they do dominate the bestsellers list)", and, finally, "geez, the guy's an actor. I mean, sure he played Professor Bellgrove in Gormenghast, and was brilliant in the role, but he's got to be a hack writer. I mean, come on, Bellgrove, his fictional self, is probably a hack writer."
I finished the book before Sunday appeared.
( Long meandering bits allegedly about the book... )
