King Plum the Nth

Jan 2018: I've been rereading my post history and realized that I can be a moronic bloviating asshole. FWIW, I apologize for most of everything I've ever written on the internet. In future, if I can't say something functional or funny, I won't say anything at all.
Man, I wish I'd seen this thread 25 days ago. Like Josef K. Sourdust I loved the first part but couldn't get on-board with the second. I chalk it up to Collins' skill actually. I really enjoyed the voice of the first narrator (and, ya, it made me want to read Robinson Caruso) but found the second insufferable. So points for distinctive, realistic voices.

Unfortunately, I started reading this because I read ]Drood -- a profoundly kick rear end novel in its own right but it totally gives away the twist in Moonstone.

Between the less enjoyable narrator and having zero suspense I just couldn't chug on. It's still on my "to read" list, though.
