I can see how this became one of the classics. The writing really draws you in and you end up sympathising with those you didn't want to sympathise with, which I think is incredible. Reading the first few chapters again after finishing the book helped a bit with understanding and closing the book. I can't say I enjoyed it, but I was definitely impressed.
