Skimmed through a great book to get to the end, only to feel you cheated yourself and should have paced yourself. You have that let-down you get when you know you've finished a good book, but it's even worse because you know you lessened the experience somewhat and even if you re-read it, it won't be the same?
I'm afraid I'm going to do that with The Story of Edgar Sawtelle. I put a hold on it a while back and I can only have it for a week, and I don't have tons of time to read, so I'm rushing at times and I love the book. I'm picky about what books I buy, and I rarely re-read books, but I plan to both buy and re-read this and I'm not even finished. So far, I concur whole heartedly with King's blurb on the back.
I wasn't sure where to put this, so if it doesn't fit here, I apologize. I'm just interested in seeing if anyone has had similar experiences.
