joelafond's review against another edition

I had to read this book in high school English class and was not a fan. I figured at that age. Perhaps it just was over my head so I decided to give it another try as an adult. Only a slight improvement reading as an adult. Impressive writing, sure, but still just as rambling and aimless as I remember.
