Woo! 80 pages to go! (Kill me.)

What's annoying is that it would be interesting. Like, the storyline right now is pretty crazy. Hepzibah's cousin says he'll put her brother Clifford in a mental institution if he doesn't tell him where the deed to the land he should've inherited is. But Clifford probably actually doesn't know where it is. And Hepzibah and Clifford just ran from the house while the cousin was sitting in the parlor (or sleeping? maybe? It's a little hard to tell). So they're on the run. Which should be exciting.

It's just that it takes forever for the author to get to the point. Like, I understand that it's important to know character's thought on things. I'd be fine with just that. But when looking out a window takes up four pages, you know it's a little excessive. And the word choice just makes everything sound kind of boring. Like, there is definitely a way to make blackmail sound interesting, but the character sounded like they were about to fall asleep.

It's also a little hard to read because every time I turn a page, I think "x pages left". Because I need to finish this soon, I am even stressing out while I'm reading the book, which makes it a little harder to concentrate.

I just hope this all works out. I'll actually probably forget the whole thing by the time school starts. (Sparknotes will definitely be my best friend a few days before the start of school.)
