Review of 'The Thorn Birds' on 'Goodreads'

1 star

I saw this as a tv series and decided that I should at last read the book. Unfortunately the copy I got from the library had such small print I couldn't cope with it, which is not uncommon in older books. Hence the one star as I only struggled through the first chapter.
