I quit reading at about 35% in. I know the book was written in the 50s where certain terms were more wildly used (not accepted or ok. But used.) 
But after the about the 3rd use of more than one disgusting racial slur I'd had enough. I tried to keep going because the book is so widely praised as a classic... but honestly it made my stomach turn. Not for me.

Less of a hardy cackle and a fuck you to men and more of a gentle "Girl you deserve it all, don't you dare settle." to all the women of the world. Well spoken and thoughtful.
