Hacker News Reader

how do you know if you skipped?

You are right to push back. I read it later.

after you read it, why did you find it was good advice?

I was about 8 or 9 on my first reading, those chapters are just slow and don't advance the plot, probably would have bounced me out of the book.

As an adult I found the author's horny depiction of Goldberry kind of off putting.
