To quote Peter Griffin: “it insists upon itself”
It was a pretty good book but I would have had more fun reading a greek tragedy or like, Hamlet. The reason being: i could not stand the characters so when the plot focused on something like romance i absolutely could not bring myself to care about it, and it fell flat.
