I've been keen to read this book for a while as it's so famous in the classic literature world. I've got to say whilst I did enjoy the book and found it an easy read with likeable characters, the story wasn't what I thought it would be. I found it to be more of a coming of age story focusing on a slightly strict, slightly absent father's relationship with his children whereas I thought it would be mainly focused on a wrongly convicted man and his trial. It was slightly slow in parts and I do think it's slightly overrated.
