Status Updates From Il mistero di Edwin Drood

An unusual beginning! Only time will tell if I love this novel dearly or despise it with every fiber of my being.

I must say, Dickens' writing is very reminiscent of Thomas De Quincey's opium-driven stories. However, De Quincey's was mostly babble and all over the place.

At least Dickens seems to have an idea--not the most profound, but an idea at the most!

so disappointing this book is unfinished bc the nearer to the end of the plot the better it gets and the bits we have are all over the place then none of them get tied up because there’s no ending.
