Did anyone find this book a bit confusing? I mean its a good book, but all the imagery made it a bit hard to follow at times
Jenny Levine I don't blame you. The book was written in a way that I don't really agree with. The language used equates to a bunch of flowery metaphors and synonym…moreI don't blame you. The book was written in a way that I don't really agree with. The language used equates to a bunch of flowery metaphors and synonyms which turn what should be 50-page short story into a 200-page novel. Also, if you don't like it because of the way it was written, it's not a good book, just because it's a classic doesn't mean that everyone should glorify something that (in my opinion) really isn't that good. And don't blame it on your literary comprehension. This book is nearly incomprehensible for most people, and unless you're a poet, you have plenty of reason to be confused.(less)
