not bad! the only reason i wanted to read this was so i could watch the 2001 version of the movie with josh hartnett in it (because i'm obsessed with josh hartnett), and i'm glad the book wasn't bad! even though all the men were terrible, i thought the women were actually pretty great. 

also, if you're like me, and you hate infidelity in books, it doesn't actually happen. i didn't find it very triggering at all!

This was a reread ready for class. I love the characters and their development and don't have many major faults

I read this for university, and to be honest, it was fine. It was sometimes difficult to maintain concentration. I just think that sometimes literature can get too old for me. The last half was very exciting.
