This novel is a masterpiece if your willing to get through the first half. This novel's writing relating to the characters is incredibly nuanced. It perfectly showed the reader how Mr. Stevens, (the main character's) ideology will ultimately cause him failure, while making him into a character that is able to be empathized with.

This is one of the best books I've ever read. I just didn’t necessarily enjoy it. It’s a fascinating, layered, beautifully-written character study of one of the most boring characters I’ve ever encountered. He’s a deeply tragic figure in a lot of ways, but wow.
