Preliminary book review: 'Mysteries of Udolpho'

'Mysteries of Udolpho' by Ann Radcliffe is a real struggle to finish. Just when you think you've settled into the story, you realise you're still 350 mind-numbingly small-print pages from the end. And, might I add, that Miss Radcliffe was partial to dubious, and, often, unnecesarily tedious, amounts of clause-continuing punctuation. Dull.

(Note how that penultimate sentence was written in the style it denoted yoy!)
