iscid Certainly not "the perfect book", but a very good read.
The story was easy to follow and the fast pace was pretty enjoyable. I personally had a problem with some of Harry's ramblings as they became a bit annoying after the first act. Chapter 11 was also entirely dreadful, incredibly tedious...
Overall, I can say that I finally understand why people recommend this to newer readers, its certainly a very good introduction to classics.

**Read for school compulsory reading**
Well. It's complicated.
I won't talk about the blantant antisemitism and horrible mysoginy, but damn that made it hard to read. I understood that Henry *is* a bad influence, but it was unhinged. 
The first half of the book was pretty slow, nothing really happend. But the middle and second part? That was something, and it made the overall experience much much better. 
I loved the psychology in this book, it reminded me little bit of The Cremator - how much you can influence one. 
I also loved the flower symbolisms throughout the book.

Wow. This. Was. Phenomenal. The writing and pacing were good, the story was gripping, and I was wondering how this book was going to end literally until the last sentence. This is my favorite classic I've read so far and easily deserves five stars!
