Reddit reviews The Wake: A Novel

Finished Harry Potter and the Cursed Child earlier this week then tore through Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's The Sign of Four (Sherlock Holmes is just fun stuff). I then dove back into a book I've started twice before: Paul Kingsnorth's The Wake.

On my two previous attempts, I never made it more than 5% of the way into the book. On the ferry yesterday, I started from the beginning and plowed through 7%. It's written in a version of old English and it takes a while to get used to reading it, but it's amazing how the language firmly aligns your mind with the mind of the narrator. I think I'll actually finish the book this time.
