Darkmans - finally finished

I'm not sure that I got this book, but I'm fairly sure that it got me, because I stayed there for the whole 800+ pages. Don't ask me to tell you what it is about, because I don't know. The interesting thing is that I realised that there are so many English words that I don't know and never use. Half-way thorough the book I started to make a list. And for your enjoyment, it follows below.
