The sixty-sixth book: #55 Caleb Williams - William Godwin
Hmmm. So this novel is trying to make a point about British justice in the 18th century, how wealth and power influenced how everything went and how everyone treated you, and how the justice systems could ruin people's lives, send them into a downwards spiral as they can't get back up, and how corruption could appear easily. It's a good point, and the author is fond of making his point using flowery language that obscure the point he's trying to make - I missed several important plot points that way, because they felt buried in long speeches. It's a good effort, but ultimately I don't think the author quite gets to make the point he wants to make.
