swancreates's review against another edition
1.0
What the heck was this book? This book felt like a house that was continuously added to it until you end up with a monstrosity of a house.
This book had the most plots I have ever read in one single book. Every chapter seems to add a new conflict to move the story forward, but what was worse was that the conflict was resolved in the exact same chapter.
In the first five chapters, he found out that his father spent almost all the money only to quickly find ways to resolve it. He had to marry a lady to save his mom's house only to find out that the lady eloped and the house was never in danger. His father gave away the family jewels, only to know where it was right away. That all happened in the first quarter of the book!
I have never read a book where so much was happening right nothing ever actually happened. No mention was allowed to build because as soon as something new was added, it was quickly resolved. And you never felt any urgency since he was never in any actual danger of losing anything.
Also, the many many many characters that were introduced, it was so hard to keep up with all of them. I read the entire thing hoping for it to give me SOMETHING but even the ending was easily resolved with talking. This book was a huge disappointment to me.
