For those who are saying this book is stupid because it's boring, please stop. This book is a masterpiece. I will say that it is extremely boring as a plot and difficult to read, but please understand that that was not the intention. This book is a great way to test your skills on symbolism and themes and it is actually quite the history lesson, explaining older times and puritan culture. If you want a quick read for fun, don't read this, read Animal Farm. However, if you want something to read and take something out of it, read this and Animal Farm.
