I really enjoyed it. Preferred the second half. Definitely a very clever book, but I think I was a bit too dumb to understand some of it. I reckon I will at some point though.

i understand why this book is a classic, but it is very difficult to read because some parts of it are very upsetting. however, it is no doubt very well written and full of literary merit.
