I just did not enjoy this. I thought it was boring and nothing happened in the first like 250 to 300 pages in. Also the main character who we never learn the name of for some reason is so boring and thinks to much about nothing. I did not enjoy the writing style like I know it’s a classic but it wasn’t for me. Also the incest that nobody comments on like what?? I do have to say I did not see one thing coming but I was so bored I literally didn’t care.  Oh and it had black face which is not ok.
