A review by absoluteturkey
The English Assassin by Michael Moorcock

5.0

Possibly my favourite Moorcock that I've ever read. In many ways, it's hard to explain why. The Jerry Cornelius books are chaotic, disjointed, and very often don't appear to have much of a plot. But where they succeed -- when they succeed -- is in the incredible descriptions of times and places, the intimations of alternate histories (and apocalypses), and that even in all this confusion, you are compelled to learn and read more. The quality of Moorcock's writing is absolutely superb -- an author at the height of his powers.

Give it a try. I'd suggest forgetting about the task of understanding everything. Just go along for the ride. A few days later you'll wake up with memories of things you never did and never saw, but you'll be quite convinced that you did.
