recommended for: people who want to hate-then-love something
I read this book for a class, and hated it at first for two reasons: 1 was the class, and 2 was that F's writing can be stuffy and dense if you're not in the mood. The energy that goes into the prose slowly started to turn me on, and this ended up being a great reading experience. Historical context is pretty accurate, too.
