The book, using 100 years old English, begins with 3 or 4 letters from a man to a woman. Using search I discovered who wrote those letters and why. The book is nothing like what the movies we've seen are. Had I not been 'forced' to read this title, I would not have chosen to read it. The old, old fashioned wording is killing me.

This is a bedtime book, so completing even its 105 pages will still take some time. The 130 years old English is cumbersome, slows my already limpid reading speed to a crawl. As it is a visual sleeping pill I try to read a chapter a night before drooling and passing out. If not a 'required' classic I would not be reading. Hell! Actor Sterling Hayden's 1963 autobiography 'Wanderer' is many times better than this.
