Good luck. So far, I'm not really enjoying it all that much.

I too liked the way it was written. They words really painted a picture. Unfortunately as soon as the people entered that picture and took over it I lost interest. Probably tells as much about me as about the book...

I wonder how we can tell which version we have? I haven't any flashbacks in the first 15 chapters of mine.

The MR version starts with a flashback in Book 2.

Hm, I want to make sure mine's not the posthumously revised version but I don't know how.
Could someone post something easy and small to check to find out? I'd appreciate it. I know I could read Book 2 to find out, but I'd have to read enough to realise if it were a flashback or not and I'd rather not spoil it as I haven't even started Book 1 yet. For instance, wouldn't the first few words of Book 2 in each version be different? So could someone just post what the first word or two of each edition is as an easy way to check without spoiling the story? |
