Why? Why? Will someone just tell why people love this book so much? What is so great about it?

Think of Crime and Punishment and Anna Karenina for instance. It is not a YA romance novel for someone to forget their worldly problems but to REMIND us of them. I think the problem lies with the modern media and its representation of this novel. People go into it with false expectations. That's why some don't understand the greatness of the novel.(less)
