Char reviewed River god by Wilbur Smith (Egyptian (1))
Review of 'River god' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
Actually, I loved this book. The only reason I didn't give it a five was the first person narrator. Now, I'm not usually one to dock the rating because I don't like a character, but this one was over the top and enough to make me consider not finishing the book.
He's fabulous at everything he tries, except for being modest. Oh, and for being laid back and happy when everyone else is. How many times did we read something to the effect of "I was the only one who couldn't be happy or relaxed?" Oh, yeah, that's right. Because it's about time to save the world again. Grin. But still, he spends more time contemplating his undiminished beauty than a man obsessed woman. And ... just ... ugh. I just can't describe my unutterable loathing. Lol
