Title: a disappointment
Review: This is a classic that is not well written, hard to follow, and after so much buildup, rather boring. It is a wonderful example of a mediocre novel that really truly came to life in film, and in the many knockoffs that it spawned, but itself fails to measure up. I simply did not find it an engaging read that transported me to another time and universe with its own rules, which was what I had hoped for. Now, I try to read these classics naively and on their own merits, and I must say that this is one of the more disappointing experiences I have had. This is a matter of taste, but I would warn readers that they may find it similarly, well, bad.Not recommended.
