2.0
adventurous medium-paced

Read this originally in high school. I chose to re-read it for context when reading James as well as Ron Chernow's biography on Mark Twain.

This book is definitely a product of it's time. I can understand why this book was popular and stood out amongst the other American literature of the times, but it doesn't quite hold up in the modern era. I found it to be quite boring and dragged on at times.
