Review of 'Nine princes in Amber' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

It only took 37 years for me to finish this book. It wasn't my intention to take so long. I started reading this when I was 10 years old. I can't remember why I didn't finish it only that I never had. The interesting part, I was half way done with the book as I remembered that much.

I am glad that I finished it was interesting as an adult. Kind of like re-reading Treasure Island. I don't know if I'm going to attempt the rest of the series but at least this one is completed.
