I'm very conflicted about this book. I assume, I wasn't really in the mood for this book right now and this is why it landed a bit flat. 

I can see why this book is considered a classic and I can see that it discusses important topics. However, I found the characters unlikeable and unengaging, and up until 70% mark I was considering to DNF the book. And yet... I read it till the end and liked it!  There's something in the book that makes me think I might even re-read it at some point of time.
