Final Reflection: Farewell Almasy

Although I have been saying how great this book is and how much I learned from it, I have to tell everyone that I was LYING. The English Patient is a book that bores you when you are reading and relieves you at the moment when you put it down. The plot progresses so slowly that you'd rather write out the ending with your own imagination. Among the 300 pages, 250 are garbage. Only the leftovers are what truly say something. The setting jumps so frequently (every paragraph sometimes) that you just want to choke the author. Yes, it is a valuable book because of the deep thinking it contains. However, the time you waste while reading is much more valuable than the knowledge you gain. Take out 250 pages, it would have been the perfect book ever. I would NOT recommend this book to anyone in my grade but perhaps to the old whose purpose of reading is merely to spend time.
