The Red Queen by Margaret Drabble

Do I enjoy reading books where the protagonist is described as intelligent, admirable, historical, while doing absolutely nothing with her life? Do I enjoy reading books where the protagonist asks question after question in an annoying repetitive manner? Do I enjoy reading a historical fiction where the author is deathly frightened of writing anything that may not be a historical fact? Do I think this book was worth reading?

Maybe I just slogged through this book since it was on the list and I am eager to finish it as a personal challenge. Maybe I would have thrown this book on the floor after the first few pages otherwise. Maybe I think the damn princess and her fat professor are both incredibly boring and vacant souls. Maybe I'm being too cruel, but after hearing so many questions, maybes, and terrible writing I just couldn't take it anymore.

Rating: 0/4 (do not read unless you're sadistic and more so than Sado!)
