A review by emily_britton
The Horseman on the Roof by Jean Giono

adventurous dark sad tense slow-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? No
  • Loveable characters? Yes
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? No

1.0

 Very unpleasant. The frustrating part is that the writing was absolutely beautiful, but the ratio of corpses to characters was just awful, and the vividness of description that Giono has mastered was equally applied to pleasant and abhorrent.
