A review by tobin_elliott
The Michael Moorcock Library The Multiverse Vol.1 by Michael Moorcock
Did not finish book. Stopped at 19%.
DNF, so no rating.
I'll go on the record as saying that I absolutely love much of what Moorcock has produced. Elric? Absolutely. Corum? Definitely. Hawkmoon? Of course.
But when he gets too metaphysical, too deep into his own worlds and work...I find him confusing, pendantic, and unreadable.
Unfortunately, this collection? I read the first two chapters and literally not only had no idea what was going on, it also wasn't interesting enough to hang around and see if it ever did coalesce into something that might make sense.
So, instead, I just quickly flipped through the rest of the pages to admire the gorgeous Simonson art, and ignore the art from the other two artist.
Hugely disappointing, overall. And no, I won't be bothering with the second volume.
