A review by lucyismyname
Stoner by John Williams

5.0

This is one of the best novels I’ve ever read. However, the introduction gave the entire story away. I can’t fathom what more of a delight this book would have been if my experience hadn’t been injured by the introductory chapter.

I've encountered this with so many books and it just baffles me - why would you not stick this text at the end of the book where it belongs and call it an afterword.
