Stopped about 1/4 through THE WITCHES

I will come back to it.  Sometimes it is quite readable and a few pages fly by, but then it becomes prodigious with unnecessarily large words and odd phrasing.  There are times I read sentences two and three times to try to understand them--sometimes I gave up.  At this point, less than twenty people have been accused (one a five year old girl) and no one has been executed, but, I've seen that jail.  I don't know how anyone could live in it long.

I have now begun Demelza by Winston Graham, the second book in the Poldark series.  However, after seeing Sunday's episode on PBS, I'm disgusted with the story and am considering quitting!  I'll see how this goes...
