thewarbler's review against another edition
This book wasn’t for me. I think it was very well written and probably would appeal to people who enjoy literary classics, but I found it depressing and didn’t much like the characters. I stopped because I realized I didn’t care what happened to the characters.

The story jumps around and the pace is variable- some parts flew by and others draggggggged. The characters are frustrating, but part of me still cared to see how it all came together.
