falcarragh's review against another edition
It's odd. I loved this book and couldn't put it away... But then after finishing most of it, I was simply annoyed and fed up. The characters are static and the 'old-fashioned gender roles' became dominting. I simply lost interst in reading "the ending" of the story.

I enjoyed reading it, and it was well written, a true classic, but I can’t help feeling that in this instant, the movie is better than the book. Wesley seemed almost abusive in the book and I get that it was due to his own pain and trying to save Buttercup, but it doesn’t excuse how he treats her.
