I bought a used book online, and it arrived in perfect condition, as advertised. Except that on page 1 there is a post-it that somebody must have used to prepare an in-class presentation on the novel. Item 1 on the Post-It says, “We only find out at the very end that Martin’s father is dead.”

Oh, thank you so much, dumbass, for killing the book for me.

    Well, if today’s students are as dumb as you keep saying, maybe the note is incorrect, and the father didn’t die.

    Guess you’ll have to read the book to find out. 🙂

      It will feel too much like work when all I wanted was to enjoy the dang book.
