I'd never read anything by Edith Wharton before, so wanted to give one of her novels a try... Let's just say, I'm not eager to try another one of her novels.Captivated Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15789205839634527219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8652886466659402180.post-1779984424493426482015-06-26T22:11:46.301-07:002015-06-26T22:11:46.301-07:00I've been wanting to read this one.

It seems that it's one of those classics that people are expected to read no matter if it's good or bad. We'll see if I ever decide to actually read it.

Thought I was crazy for not liking it, but feels nice to not be alone, haha. It could be the whole "period piece" thing that makes it a classic even though it's not that great of a read.
