A review by catbrigand
The Dante Club by Matthew Pearl

2.0

It could have been interesting. It should have, in fact, with the wealth of possibilities. However, the author clearly thinks incredibly highly of his own writing. The death knell (ahem) for me disliking the book was that after identifying a murderer, there were still about 75 pages left, filled with--you guessed it--75 pages of explanations for WHY the murderer did it, when either it could have been incorporated better into the story or summarized in a page or two.
