genuinely gutted im only giving this two stars. i always feel bad dunking on classics but then in the next breath i must be true to myself. i had such high hopes for this book at the start and really enjoyed the first part! when it got to part 2 i started to lose interest and when part 3 started, i had hope it would pick up again .. sadly i was mistaken. i think its because what was going to happen was pretty obvious as soon as he started talking abt the woman's daughter that it just stopped interesting me. this book is a classic but in my experience, classics aren't really my thing LOL! anyway yeah this book is gonna pass by with a "omg i forgot i read that!" at the end of the year x
