Book Reviews of Victory: An Island Tale

Book Review: Good Story
Summary: 4 Stars

I'm no literary critic so excuse my terse review. I found the beginning of this book a little slow and disjointed. I almost put it down but fortunately kept reading. The second half of this book is more engaging than the first and more "exciting". It is a romance story including a battle between good and evil and the ultimate sacrifice for love. If you read Victory be patient and you will end up enjoying the story.

Summary of Victory: An Island Tale

Heyst was not conscious of either friends or of enemies. It was the very essence of his life to be a solitary achievement, accomplished not by hermit-like withdrawal with its silence and immobility, but by a system of restless wandering, by the detachment of an impermanent dweller amongst changing scenes.

Conrad, Joseph Books
