It was just okay. I struggle to understand why this book was so highly acclaimed. I didn’t realize the version I read was abridged — until I was nearly done. I cannot imagine spending 3x as long reading this book. However, maybe that’s why it was just ok…maybe abridging it caused a loss of story fidelity.
