Review:
Interesting concept: guy buys up dead peasants to cheat the tax system and get rich quick. It fails and he has misadventures.
The manuscript was cobbled together after his death and after he burned parts of it, so the first part is mostly good, but the second part is disjointed and difficult to follow.
