Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Just finished reading this book for the first time and I very much enjoyed it. I could easily see myself reading it again at some point; and I would highly recommend it to others. However, if you purchase this 25th edition of the book as I did, BE WARNED. It leads with an Introduction that completely divulges the ending of the story as well as other major plot points throughout the book. I can't fathom why it was ever decided to lead with this. It was written as if anyone reading the book now must have surely read the book before, and this is obviously not the case. The introduction would have been a lovely addition at the END of the book, but was infuriating to encounter at the beginning. It was enough that I considered writing a personal letter to the author, only to find out that he's dead and that my only feedback can be here to act as a warning to others.
