Had a hard time reading Moll Flanders

By PlainShadowSeal3

I’ve read a bit of Robinson Crusoe and it honestly felt a lot easier than Moll Flanders, even though they’re both by the same author. Not sure why, but I’d get stuck on stretches with basically no dialogue. If I lost focus for even a second and then got to the next paragraph, it felt like something would’ve happened off-screen that I hadn’t actually read. It makes me feel like you really have to go word for word, otherwise you’ll miss key stuff, because there are times where the writer says something important happened but there’s no dialogue or anything to guide you through it. So far the plot seems okay, but yeah… it definitely takes more mental effort than I expected.
