The Moonstone by Wilkie Collins
3.0

Possibly 3.5/5
This book was interesting as it was both well written and oftentimes funny, but also fairly boring. Following the mysterious disappearance of the Moonstone, we are told what happened through the lenses of several interesting parties. These perspectives were oftentimes heartwarming, funny, and nearly every time charming, but the story itself still dragged on quite a bit. I think I would have enjoyed it more if it were not quite so long. Regardless, all my love to Mr. Betteredge and his Robinson Crusoe. <3
