I read this book for a research paper for school and I have to say that it was a struggle. I enjoyed the book for the parts where I could understand it, but the English was so hard (I didn't read this exact edition but one from 1880 so that probably made it hard, or just the fact that English isn't my native language so English with a dialect is kind of a nightmare at times). I did read through a little summary or analysis of one of the chapters (had to highlight it in my paper so I wanted to make sure that I fully understood it) and that was quite interesting so I might go back to this book if I can find a modern version of it.
