No, it was quite apparent by the bottom of the *first* page. At that point I binned it.

I salute you
Thanks. Incidentally, exactly the same thing happened when I read Pride & Prejudice. It's astonishing how quickly that became unbearable.
Oddest one was the Count of Monte Cristo Vol 1 which I tore up and threw away in disgust just 3 pages from the *end*.
If that was meant to be "the end" than it would have taken very little to complete the book! I suspect you intend it to be "beginning".
Nope. 3 pages before the *end* of V1.
Returning to Pride & Prejudice, it looks like I'm not alone in my assessment of Jane Austin's crap:

Hmm. I think I did that with a couple of books on Philsophy. According to Wittgenstein doing that is the mark of a true philsopher... :-)

Why?
No such person.
What about Jane Austen? She's good.
Is that the one where a rich bloke bangs a poor bird?
F***ed if I know. All I can say for sure is that there was no banging of anybody on page 1. The bit you mention might well be in there further into the book I'm guessing. I somehow doubt it's a bodice-ripper, though.
