This book, in my honest opinion, is totally overrated. I couldn't even finish it because it was just so dark, dull, and depressing. I really wanted to like this one since it's a classic and it's been around forever. But I got to about page 100 and said, "Is this something I want to keep reading?" and my answer was "NO!" Too depressing for my taste.

After I "tried" reading this, I "tried" to watch the movie......absolutely terrible. This book is definitely not for me.
