It took a couple of chapters getting into it, but in return, there were several chapters I just had to complete no matter time or place. If you like books about books, you’ll love this!

4/10 - Underwhelming. The reviews of this book are so good, but I just couldn't get into it. I think the story is really interesting but it's quite waffley at times, and really didn't need to be 500 pages. I also found that there were some bits that REALLy didn’t age well even though it’s not that old. I tend to rate mostly based on enjoyment and unfortunately I was pretty bored by this.
Graphic: Confinement, Death, Physical abuse, and Pregnancy
Moderate: Child death, Incest, Infidelity, Sexual content, and Rape
