maplessence's review against another edition
2.0
I just can't do it!
I can forgive just about anything in a book (on occasion even bad writing) other than being boring. & this novel is beyond tedious, populated by people with bizarre motivations who I just don't care about. It's also very dated & old fashioned. This book is starting -gasp!- to make me not want to read!
DNF 34%.

- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? No
- Loveable characters? Yes
- Diverse cast of characters? Yes
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

I own the original 1902 copy, which belonged to my great-great-aunt Gladys -- it was a childhood favorite of mine, and what a surprise to see it's been re-released in a new edition! I'm so glad, since it's such a funny, sprightly book and I've always thought it would still be popular if only people knew about it.
