Great book! I had assumptions about the book that ended up being wrong and I fell in love with the style of writing.
A classic that deserves to be a classic. Excellent explanatory notes from the author, her husband, and other notables that added to my understanding of the novel. So glad I finally read this - I missed it while in high school. (Minor underlining in the text.)

I read this for a class a few years back. I gotta admit it was super slow to get into it in the beginning. The first few chapters dragged on for me. But once it got good, it became a faster read. The change in perspective can through you off at first but once you get used to it it's pretty interesting. Overall I feel that if you have patience and time this is worth a read.
I have just started reading all the classics and this book made my commitment even stonger. It was incredible.
