"This is a great classic. Loved this book"

"I never really understood why people found this to be a classic of literature based on my reading experience. This is one of six books I've ever truly despised in my whole life. There were no likable characters and while I love reading about these time period, this never gelled with me. I may think differently after a second reading as it's been years since I first read it and I was an early teen when I read it. That's something to consider. "
