Am i the only person who fails to understand why this book is considered a classic, to me it was boring and tedious and the plot failed to engross me as many other books have?

I understand now how overrated this book is. Defenitely NOT a classic! Not my kind of book. I didn'tlike the narration style nor the pace of the storytelling. I could list a thousand books few people have heard of, and nobody considers them classics but have captured my imagination and opened my mind in wonderful ways! So it's just a matter of taste and it also depends on what reading experience you have. (less)
