The story still holds up very well, with excellent gothic worldbuilding and characters and well maintained mystery.
The Victorian writing style, though, slow and protracted, with half the book made up from letters and diary entries and the dialogues few, short and far apart, is not that captivating any more for the modern reader, to be honest.

Total de acord cu ideile, interpretările și perspectivele autorului. Deloc de acord cu stilul: o combinație nedigerabila de eseu, cu epistolar, cu amintiri fără context, cu "stream of consciousness".

Answered a promptWhich books have you read multiple times?
I expected (and looked for) military scifi. Read till 25% - no milscifi yet, and also boring, unoriginal, not futuristic at all, no character development, but way too many and extended descriptions and so on. Also too simplistic. Gave up, obviously.
