This was such an interesting read in that it's a more modern classic than the others that I've read which were all from the nineteenth century. The language was quite a challenge to get my head around, but I loved the description and even though the characters were all awful people, they were compelling. It was quite a difficult read to begin with, but it did pick up within the last couple of chapters. All in all, this was alright.
