I still struggle with reading classics. I don't know if it is the writing style but I always seem to feel like I have zoned out and missed stuff, even when I haven't. This is less than 200 pages and I still got confused.

I actually didn't mind the story or characters, but I think it would have benefitted from being longer. With it being less than 200 pages it feels like it cuts itself off and jumps around when reading. 
I would be highly interested to see if there are any retelling or reimagining of this story. I think it has a plot that could really be interesting if it was fleshed out more.
