so, I suppose my conclusions are that, for me, the book had way too many characters, way too many narrative threads that didn't connect up well (and even when they did it was very hard to buy) and consequently I spent most of the book thinking 'dafaq did I just read?'.
Harder to follow than Dostoevsky, less rewarding. Would not re-read. YMMV.
HOld on - I'm having one of those crises, where I can't remember if it was the Italian or the Monk is disliked. I remeber thinking one was awesome and one was awful, so Matthew Lewis might actually be great.
Oh God, what have I become?
I completly disagree, and your penultimate sentence describes many of you the novels I love most. I have read M&M many times, and it always rewards rereading.
Eh. More for you then.
I generally really enjoy Russian novels, but M&M just wasn't doing anything great for me.
