My opinion about the Gadfly
Hello! Sorry for any mistakes, English isn't my native.
I just read The Gadfly and I'm surprised that most reviews describe this book as a masterpiece, the best book they've read. In my opinion, all the characters in this book are overly straightforward and lack any depth, even for a romantic book with an "exceptional ideal hero in exceptional circumstances" this seems like too much.
In addition, I don’t quite understand the motivation behind many of Gadfly’s actions and how he often contradicts himself. Maybe, this is a character trait, but because of the narrative, I don't think so.
And the attempt at mystery doesn't work at all, all the riddles can be easily solved from the very first pages. Honestly, I think it's largely because of these attempts at mystery that the book became worse.
Gadfly himself reminded me of a Jack London's captain from The Sea-Wolf, but I think the character there is much better, even though the reviews for that book are much worse and I don't understand why.
