pick
Whereas the first two novels in the sequence are replete with long descriptive passages, here the pace is much more rapid, as we are whisked from scene to scene. Perhaps because of this dissimilarity to the preceding books, Titus Alone has often been dismissed by readers who simply wanted more Gormenghast, which is a pity as it has strange riches of its own.
panTitus Alone is NOT GOOD and in the future I‘ll be revisiting the Gormenghast duology only. I have some sadness about this: the author was already suffering from dementia when he began writing this and I wonder what it might have been under better circumstances.
Less than fifty pages to go and so excited to be finished finally.
pickWTF? The first two books were so much better. I‘m between a pick and a so-so.
