Reviews

Read this for an English class some years ago. I know it's a classic story but it's very dense and a bit antiquated (at least as I'm remembering it now). Worth reading but be prepared (some literary analysis before/during is worth it). Just not my particular cup of tea.

What a mess. I couldn't concentrate on this book at all because it's so convoluted. Once again I don't see the greatness in it.
