They say you can't go back and, hoooooo, is this book a prime example. This did not age well...

I think I'll stick with the movie from now on.

Okay, I loved this book.
I guess the bet part is the worst part. That shit happens in the end that pretty much make you want to scream and douse oneself in petrol, before setting oneself alight underneath a peice of heavy machinery, provoking it to explode and cause a great amount of damage to person and property.
But hey, thats life. Life's not fair. In fact, life is a bitch. And then you die.

Mr Goldman, I didnt need to hear about your fat kid and loveless marrige though, so shut up.
Though, you really had me questioning my geography. Florin? Where is this place? Ah. Must be Florence. But wait, no. Can't be. Confusion abounds. Must go to work and search for this Morgenstern fella. Read the REAL version. What? No. I dont believe this.
