Challenger (Roman Arena, #2)

6.0 (1 Ratings)
Book Rating
The second novella in Simon Scarrow's 'Arena' series of books, this picks up almost directly after the events of the first.


It also follows pretty much the same pattern as before, with Pavo (who, despite the impression given by the blurb, is the main character rather than Macro) training for another bout in the Roman Arena, while political machinations go on in the background, and with the final chapter concerned with that bout alone.

"This is one of the most bizarre, exhilarating, strange, intense books I've ever read. I mean all of this in a good way. The book's chapters are fractured looks at an even more fractured family. The book feels less like a story about them and more like a lived experience inside their psyche. Each chapter reads like a short experimental film about each character. They are beautiful, poetic abstractions on the human condition."

I only got through one chapter of this I did not enjoy it at all, I cant put my finger on why I instantly disliked it but I felt offended slightly by it and I have read more offensive things in books and did not dislike them but this just had a sort of feel to it and I hate not finishing a book and always try to finish a book i'm starting but this I just couldn't.
