A review by makenziewho
The Jewel in the Crown by Paul Scott

Did not finish. The framework of the story made it very difficult for me to develop any sympathy with the characters. The descriptions of every little thing in every single room were tedious, and it was becoming a chore to read. I ended up just reading a synopsis on Wikipedia and I don't feel bad about quitting it. I used to hate leaving a book unfinished, but there are too many good books in this world to waste your time with the ones that don't interest you.
