This novel is such a classic that I was really visions to read it. I loved the style, the language is so beautiful, and the story is unpredictable and keeps your interest. However the characters are so hateful that I found it hard to finish in the end. Since their actions keep being despicable, maybe I would have preferred it to be shorter as in my mind so parts of the book do not really bring much value to the overall story and just add length. It remains a very good novel!!! I loved the inclusion of the letters between the author and a detractor, a female author. But my, is the prose gorgeous!
