2.0

Recommend this to anyone who loves reading books that are about an intensely dislikeable character and are written in an incredibly slow and rambling style. If you don't love the pages of painstakingly detailed accounts of animal and plant husbandry, then maybe you'll instead enjoy the endless paragraphs of proselytising and banging on about "the true God". If you're looking for an exciting adventure book, then look elsewhere!
All that said, reading this will demonstrate just how far the English novel has come in the last 300 years, and make you appreciate all other books that little bit more.
