William Goldings großer historischer Roman
Jocelin hat eine Vision: Gott hat ihn auserwählt, einen gewaltigen Turm zu bauen. Sein Baumeister warnt ihn, weil die alte Kathedrale kein sicheres Fundament hat. Doch Jocelin lässt sich nicht beirren. Der Turm wächst und wächst, und um ihn herum breiten sich Chaos und Gewalt aus... Ein eindringlicher Roman des Literaturnobelpreisträgers William Golding über Wahn und Fanatismus, Freiheit und Begehren.

I was going to give this book 2 stars because my enjoyment solely (okay, perhaps not solely, but mainly) came from Benedict Cumberbatch’s talent. But then I decided not to, because I didn’t hate the book as much as I hated the other books which I gave 2 stars rating (not the best logic, but I’m gonna go with it.). He gave the main character, Jocelin a lively persona which I was craving to see. He was definitely a complex character but not in an enjoyable sense for me. I am sure that if I’d followed the printed copy alongside the audiobook, I would have appreciated his writing more and probably picked up on some symbolism, but if that had been the case, I would have never been able to finish it. With this being said, I cannot say that i did not enjoy the atmosphere, the unreliable narrator and the ending as well. But was not quite enough for me. I believe certain people who generally prefer to read classics would enjoy and appreciate it a lot more than I did.
