Despite this being a classic, this book was not for me. The writing was long-winded, rambly, unbearably slow—way too much fluff. It never engaged me and my mind constantly wandered. 


Then, as if I needed another reason to dislike the book, the character of Toad was frustratingly arrogant, misogynistic and fatphobic. 


Just yuck. There was nothing redeeming about this book for me.
