I agree too. I understand it was originally a serial published in pieces but I was always waiting for more as I read the first book. I even bought the second book in anticipation of continuing the series, but always seem to find a reason to read something else next.
Point being, it’s not everyone’s cup of tea, but there tends to be a lot of pretentious opinions around classics and if you don’t like them, then you “just don’t understand” how great the work is, blah, blah, blah. As evidenced by the comments on this post.
I do enjoy the apple + series, if you’re looking for more of a fleshed out narrative. But I’m “low class” and don’t mind the source material being changed.
