I do think this book has a certain relevance and can be used to depict aspects of the time it was written in. You can also analyze scenes and characters in a very detailed way. 
  Overall, I did not enjoy it that much though. On one hand I disliked most of the characters and on the other it was difficult to read it due to the language. I also can't say that I found the plot overly interesting. 
  So I guess it wasn't a particularly unfit read for school but I wouldn't have read it on my own account.
