Very short and surprisingly good. Can't call it feminist, or even healthy, but somehow it was very touching and romantic. Star-crossed lovers. The rich guy dumping everything for the girl he loves and she doing the same for him. Finding love and happiness. It ending in tragedy. In those few pages it deals with really strong feelings and touches very difficult subjects - in surface but yet deeply and efficiently. So yeah, a surprisingly good read.

This book is so widely praised that I was expecting much more. Perhaps it is the movie that is actually lauded and I did see that the book was more a novelization of the screenplay than a novel in its own right. This was mediocre twaddle.
