I always gets stuck with this one because it's so pointlessly long. I do like the complexity of the climax that is missing in the movie, and also all the stuff about discrimination against centaurs and goblins that never went anywhere in future books. I was reading it to my little sister 2-4 years ago, but then we stopped, so finished the last 2 chapters on my own. The last one is very good, I like the conversations with Nick and Luna (the last one got adapted in the film).
