It gets better ! How much more can I take of this novel ?

[Meg]

Lovelace is a true villain and full-on Machiavellian narcissist. Pure evil.
All I can say about Clarissa is, poor thing.

Also, Samuel Richardson is brilliant.

This whole story could have been told in about 300 pages but no, sadly there are still 4 volumes to go....
