4.0

I enjoyed this classic much more than I was expecting. Admittedly, the middle of the book got a little boring for me, but the beginning and end hooked my attention well. I'll want to reread to get a better grasp of some stuff I might have missed in the middle of the novel. 

Another reason I'll want to reread the book is because apparently most copies out now are heavily edited and censored. I hear the uncensored version is much better. 

Art lovers and haters alike will enjoy this book, I think.
