This was a very interesting (and really, really long) read. I liked most parts, loved some and disliked others. The best part for me, was Dr. Larch and Irving's ability to use description. The first two chapters may be my favourite, because I loved the way Irving described where St. Cloud's was located and it's surroundings. I also liked the added humour. There was one thing that was iffy and uncomfortable to me, which was the picture with the girl and horse(?)This is the first historical book that I actually finished and liked so that in itself is an accomplishment.
