Title: Less than I expected
Review: I read this book because it was a choice for a book group I'm in and I was excited to read such an historically important novel. However, I was very dissappointed. I tried to like the book, but I was completely bored and could not even finish it. There was so suspense, the characters were flat and undeveloped, and I couldn't get past the misogyny/racism/etc. The book was entirely devoid of any emotion at all. It provides an interesting historical look into that society, but other than that, I could not have enjoyed it less. I think part of the problem was that this theme has been improved upon so much over the years, it is hard to look back at the beginning and enjoy it.
