Going in to read this, I was naturally sceptical, as I am a great fan of the original and could not see how they could make it better. Luckily, I didn’t have to worry about it being better, as it was one of the strangest books I have ever read, and not in a good way. I will never understand the modern writer’s perverse fascination with turning everything pure and good into something disgusting and immoral. There was several times-no, many times-that I had to put this book down because of how disgusted I was. Not only were the characters twisted in such a way as to make them intorable, but the complete plot merely circled around the evil in people’s hearts, and did not show any good. I am begging anyone who wishes to keep their sanity to not read this, to not make the mistake that I have.
