I'm still here!
Holy CRAP this "Drood" book is long. I'm not sure I like it yet (after 900 pages) but I keep hoping something remarkable will happen and make me like it after all.
So far all I've determined is that Dickensian London was filthy; Charles Dickens and Wilkie Collins were basically woman haters (only liked them young an cute); and Opium-addled hallucinations might be able to manifest themselves (what?!?).
I've gotten far enough through it, now, that I have about the number of pages of a normal book left. I have to see it through.
God help me...
You are a good sport! Hang in there!
ReplyDeleteOmg, I tried to read that book but didn't get more than 200 pgs in! Good luck! But...life is too short to waste on a bad book. If you hate it, dump it! ;)
