👍Worth readingI was really astonished by the plot of this book. It is very interesting and intriguing. You can hardly guess what will happen in the next chapter. Additionally, I learned a lot of things which I didn't know before and really thankful that such story may aid me significantly not only in my studies but also in my entire life. The shifting character of Clyde - from religious serenity to moral corruption was the most intriguing. I 'd point out that this story was based on the real crime - The Murder of Grace Brown. So, I believe that the main message of the author is to warn us to escape from such actions similar to those of Clyde - lying, not listening to parents, not having any aim in life. Thus, I assuredly advise everyone to read this book and enjoy the unexpected plot

The principal thing that troubled Clyde up to his fifteenth year, and for long after in retrospect, was that the calling or profession of his parents was the shabby thing that it appeared to be in the eyes of others.
