I must admit that I was really into the first part of the novel while I was travelling. Then I had a break and when I got back to book I started the second section and I never adjusted properly. So, confession: I never finished it. Did anyone else find that transition difficult?

Hieronymous Alloy posted:I think he does such a good job with the first narrator that the shift to the second one takes a little to get used to. It's worth making the attempt to dive back in though. Thanks for raising Moonstone. It reminds me that I should really go back and finish it. I guess the break in my reading happened at just the wrong place. Conan Doyle set some Sherlock stories around opium dens a little later than Collins. But I guess the Romantics dabbled in laudanum (esp. Quincy and Coleridge) and Poe benefited from flirting with opium also - and they came before Collins. I guess there are plenty books on that aspect of literature.

So should I avoid this thread until I have finished the book because of spoilers?

Thanks. I didn't whether or not to come back the thread to read the answer to "Should I avoid the thread?".  I guess that must be some kind of logic problem in Philosophy 101.
