Title: Do NOT buy the Kindle edition
Review: This is one of my favorite books, but I regret buying the Kindle edition. It's obvious that to prepare this edition Harper Collins ran the book through a cheap OCR and then didn't spend much effort copy-editing the results. Just to take some examples from the first few pages of Chapter 2, the protagonist as a child is described as "a lanky eighty-year-old"; the correct text would read "eight-year-old." Later a character is described as taking "a decade at the beach"; this should be "decad," which is a word used in the setting to indicate a span of ten days.You should read this book, but not this edition.
