John Purcell’s Reviews > A Dance to the Music of Time: 1st Movement > Status Update

Just finished volume one of the twelve volume A Dance to the Music of Time. I can't see what fans see. The writing isn't consistent. Moves from self-consciously 'brilliant' to pedestrian, to arch, to overblown and back again. None of the characters deserve the attention the narrator gives them and as the narrator gave me next to nothing of himself I was left turning the pages wondering why I was.
