k0i's review against another edition

Heavy trigger warnings to watch out for. It is definitely a controversial book yet it also feels slow. I wouldn’t quite say one-dimensional, but the focus of the storyline is definitely unreliable. But once again, I didn’t finish this story so please don’t put complete faith in me. Read it if you want, at your own discretion of course.

2.0

Christ this was so long for absolutely no reason whatsoever. I'm rating it a 2 solely based on the fact that there were parts of the book that I felt like Dolores was getting the better of the main character. Otherwise, the prose is exceptionally dry and quite frankly, extremely out of sorts for 85% of the book. It's labeled as a classic due to its dryness, and taught in classrooms due to the fact that that there are many places a professor could find their pupils slipping up and not reading the material.
