2.0 out of 5 stars The English Assassin; what does it mean?
This book is remotely enjoyable, but is hard to understand, due to the way time changes and the plot jumps. I also had a hard time with Michael Moorcock's writing (he had a 27 line sentence) which makes the book even harder to understand.

This review is from: The English Assassin (Mass Market Paperback)

5.0 out of 5 stars Moorcock is a splendid mix of William S burroughs, Dickens, and Philip K Dick, March 14, 2011
This review is from: English Assassin (Hardcover)
The whole of the book: It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was all blended together and being offered in several alternatives.

This is quite simply the most involving human story I have ever read.

P.S

Yes. To understand this you will have to read carefully and indepth and perhaps a second or even a third time.
