This book was on the recommended shelf at my library and I was looking forward to it. However, I found the unexpected novelization of the stories very strange. This approach distanced me from the real people this was supposedly about. I didn't feel connected to the "characters" and could not bring myself to finish it.

It was slow getting into the first book. I didn't care as much for the characters as I did in the Barsetshire Chronicles. I have finished the first book, but setting it aside for now to read other books.
