The main appeal of this translation is the poetry. It is musical and beautiful, at times I got lost in the rhythm and had to reread the story!

I didn't actually finish this book, but I gave up on it. too hard to read, and really kind of boring. First classic I picked that I couldn't struggle my way through. Of course I've also decided there are too many books to waste my time on one like this.
