I don't really know what to say when reviewing a classic--what can I say that hasn't already been said? I knew pretty much nothing about this book going in (not even the ending, which everyone else seemed to know), and I found it entertaining. My biggest problem was not liking most of the characters and thus not feeling super sympathetic towards some of their decisions. But I was invested in them regardless, and was invested in the story overall, and I'm glad I'm read it.
