Hm... Okay. I gotta say, I was a little... underwhelmed. Didn't feel much connection to the characters, the prose was... Alright I guess. I have these thoughts in my head about why I didn't like this book all that much, but I just can't express them. It's not a bad book, though. I am glad I read this (especially before I read the original), it's just that it was way too simplified/shortened. It's hard to compare it to the original when you haven't read it, though haha

But yeah. Kinda meh. 5/10 probably. 2 stars seems too harsh, so it'll just be 3. It's nice that other people enjoyed it, though!
