I liked it. I read it when I was 15 or 16 and I remember it being very hard to understand. At that point, I needed to read it with a dictionary in hand. I like books like that, though. The author really has a mastery of language and he can use the perfect words to describe what he wants to say.
i've just started reading it, and it's funny and all, but i'm not really getting into it that much....not like a "put everything else down and just read this book" kind of mode
shouldn't you be reading the abbreviated version of The Winter's Tale so i don't have to explain it to you?
