The timeline was a bit hard to follow at times, but has some of my favorite dialog I have ever read honestly. Maybe I'm a weirdo for that.

grace_b_3's review against another edition

Honestly, I was expecting something a little different from this book, but given that I’ve seen the movie adaptation, I’m not sure why. 

I was a bit bored by this and so decided to pick up a different book instead.

It would be Carol, in a thousand cities, a thousand houses, in foreign lands where they would go together, in heaven and in hell.
