This was not the book for me. I know a lot of people give it praise and it is considered a classic, but I never got into it.

It rambled . . . it was repetitive . . . I got bored.

What was supposed to be a story about love seemed to be more about twisted obsession and I never found it endearing. None of the characters were all that great and I pretty much found myself feeling sorry for everyone.

I was thankful when I was done.

What it is: Vices disguised as virtues. Dark, evocative prose glorifying despicable behaviors.
What it isn't: a love story

It's obsession to destruction ...more
