I have mixed emotions about this book. I don't know whether to like it, or to not like it. I am a very influential person, my opinion can easily be altered. Half the people I have spoken to about this book said it was terrible, and half the people told me it was very well written. More specifically, those who told me it sucked were all people my age, and those who said they loved it were adults. Which only proves one thing; "teenagers of today cannot appreciate real literature", phrase that is often used, but surprisingly true. Our type of books usually go along the lines of adventure, fantasy, romance, crime... basically things that makes our hearts beat faster and faster. Adults... well I'm not an adult, so I have no idea what they like.
One thing for sure, it is a very confusing novel, probably because it was written in the 1940s. The writing style has changed a lot since then, so of course I might not fully understand it. Nonetheless, I find it a very good book (as I find every book good), but it's just not my style. It's not awesome, but it's good. If it would have been written more recently, I would have probably understood it more, and that would make me appreciate it more. But for now, it is very confusing.
