Good book with a well conceived under arching tone and greatly crafted psychologically thrilled & taxing aspects. I would not say it’s my favorite book, but I understand why they use it as a literary example when teaching. Should read at least once in your life. It’s one of their things where you’ll be able to say,
“I did that thing.”
“Oh yeah,” says your acquaintance, “Did you like it or not?”
“It was thoroughly average.” You reply.
