Not So Swift,
By Crusty Critic "Crusty" (Bay Area) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Swiftly (GollanczF.) (Paperback)
A fascinating idea: Suppose Gulliver's Lilliputians and Brobdignagians were real and pulled into European history, causing many changes by the 19th century? Alas, Roberts, who writes very well, has created a dull, plodding novel filled with characters who are impossible to like or be interested in, full of philosophical, religious, and scientific allusions which reveal his widely read erudition, but just make you groan. I suppose there must be a point, but I really don't care. I hope that Roberts will apply his considerable writing talents to another interesting idea, but this time with characters who have some kind of appeal and events that can draw you in.
