Title:  The Moonstone
Author:  Wilkie Collins
Genre:  Classic, Victorian Literature, Mystery, Gothic Fiction


I first read this about two years ago on my e-reader, a Project Gutenburg, free version. The book was frustrating because it was told from several different points-of-view. I liked some of the POV characters, such as the Butler (though I didn't understand why he was so obsessed with Treasure Island but not others, such as the girl obsessed with religious tracts. By the time I finished it, which took awhile, I was like, "Wait a minute - I know this story", DangerMouse did it in ten minutes. So, very much a mixed response, though the novel is widely viewed to be a classic.
