I don't deny that this book is very well written: the imagery, the emotion, the cycle through the hero's journey. However, the sharp racist turn that this book takes in the last third lost me. I know the book is an old classic and it reflects the beliefs of the time, but since it caught me completely by surprise, it just left a bad taste I my mouth. I want to like this book, but all I can remember right now are the slurs.
