marleywrites's review against another edition

Too slow. I couldn’t bring myself to finish it. Like I want to know what happens, but I don’t quite care enough to keep reading. But I’m going to bookmark where I stopped and see if I can finish it at a later date. I’m just tired of looking at it on my bedside table every day being untouched.
