I've been complaining to H about the endless descriptions. I'm listening to the audio version and I keep falling asleep. Well, the sunny side is that it's good for insomnia. Donna Tartt needed a good editor.

I'm sorry you are frustrated with it. Perhaps it does not lend itself well to the audio version. Some books are just better read than listened to and this is probably one of them. I totally loved it and relished every single page. In fact, I though it was the best book I read last year. Keep on keeping on.NCmountainwomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00615765649828716560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686754906089902443.post-81337998890495793902014-06-13T12:00:31.431-04:002014-06-13T12:00:31.431-04:00Do they have a Cliff Notes version?
