elit's review against another edition

DID NOT FINISH: 24%

Beautiful descriptions of foliage, country, landscapes -but the story drags

Never have I wanted to finish a book so badly and quickly as this one. The abuse felt exploitative and the descriptions were indulgent and needlessly verbose. Not sure how I felt about the book in the end, just happy that it was over.

Absolutely amazing. Going to have to make a hard decision on my “Top 10 Books” shelf! Turtle is an unforgettable character.

Genuinely what was the point of this book??? Totally fell apart at the end.

Oof, I do not get the success of this book. The description of the father/daughter relationship was so off-putting and frankly, not understandable.
