I've read this for an university exam, I despised it so much it made me sick a few times but I constantly think about it. Despite me disliking this book it was one of those I've printed on my mind.

This was a slog for me and I debated DNF'ing multiple times, spurred on only by the facts I read this for a reading challenge and I knew this to be a classic held in high regard by many people. It's an account of a family's life, incredibly detailed in some regards while jumping around time and space and handwaving away details in others. The style of writing is quite possibly the only thing I enjoyed about this book and therefore the only thing that got my rating of it to 3 stars. Maybe time will be kinder to me response to this than my current feelings after having spent over two weeks forcing myself to get through it.
