Customer Reviews
Tiny but Mighty
This is my first classic in a while, just because I’ve been feeling quite literate🤓 Let me say that I really enjoyed this book and the fact that it was short and impactful. Once you start reading, you will really start to question the characters and their decision making skills, and at times you will physically face palm. Otherwise, this was predictable but good, and highly recommend to people trying to get into classics or just looking for something to lay back with.
Strange
Really struggled to read this book and the plot line was bland. If you make it to the end there is a curve which made it better.
