3.0 out of 5 stars Abridged Version, 23 May 2008
I haven't started reading this book yet, but - please note - this edition isn't an unabridged translation of the poem as you'd get with the Penguin Classic. The difference doesn't seem to be mentioned on here, so I thought it necessary to do so because it left me somewhat disappointed.
