Title: dickensonian in it's overwriting
Review: I almost gave up numerous times while reading this book. It is about 200 pages too long. But I kept thinking it had to pick up, and I REALLY wanted to know what happened. Then it suddenly got worse and made little sense. But I kept plugging and chugging through. I almost wish I had stopped when the feeling first hit me. I rarely put a book down before finishing it but this one would have been a good choice for that distinction. The story is great but you have to read through lots and lots of unnecessary description of stuff. I know the writer was trying to create the atmosphere but the result with me was just lots of yawns.
Is the review positive or negative?
