We got loving descriptions of exactly how many shirts and pairs of underwear he bought at 9:30 before getting a haircut and after eating eggs, and we were told that the carpet matched the drapes of the underwater bond girl, but whole swaths of the book were handwaved away with little to no information, like 2 years of time spent in a dungeon, or the names of virtually any person outside of the Amber royal family. Not the cute kind of ridiculous the kind where I was incredulous that it was published, even in 1970. Probably the worst book I have completed in the last decade usually when they're this bad I just stop. I am still trying to decide if it was worth it, even at the very fast-read 174 pages, for the hard mode bingo checkbox. You guys, I hate this book so much I had to copy my goodreads review over here. PS you can see my bitter comments on the highlighted awful quotes i posted on goodreads (I'm Adelas over there) Pre-post edit to add: yes, this is brief.
