I read the shorten version and thank God for that, can´t imagine reading this good-for-nothing whoooole version of book. I would say that the story was just bad and boring, but there wasn´t even a story, it was just relationships and relationships and who when has or has not have money, who is mad at whom, just total disaster. For educational purposes, however this book was good. The only reason for 2 stars rating.
