Grammar

"...book, having..."

I'm starting to see why the critics are saying this about the book, having just finished reading it the second time.

Hi

I am not sure if I've written out what I wanted to say correctly. Is it grammatical and natural the way I have put it? I intend 'just' to mean that I have just finished reading it a short while ago.

Thank you

It is correct. I would prefer to have the phrase (having....) at the beginning, closer to I, which it modifies.

I just noticed the word why; do you mean what (?)

Thanks for replying, Philip.

I wasn't going to type 'what'. Should I have done so? If I used 'why', would it be seen to mean that I was starting to understand the reason behind the critics remarks about the book? Or would 'what' better convey this meaning.

Thank you again
