The Terror

The Terror by Dan Simmons was recommended to me by a friend. She read it in September of 2018 and one day over dinner in late 2019 we each chose one book we'd like the other to read (technically was supposed to be our very next read, but that didn't happen as we'd both been struggling to read as much as we'd like). Well, I finally read it!

Content Warning for: racism, sexism, paedophilia and homophobia (they are present in the book and in my review I mention them briefly).

( Terror! )

There were a couple of interesting chapters and some good prose peppered in here and there, but overall the story was extremely weak due to lack of focus.
