I'm gonna be honest - I am NOT a classic literature type of gal, with a few exceptions of course. I only gave this one 2 stars. I agree with Zoe's students
it starts off veryyy slow, but that makes sense as we need time for the madness to really kick in. I enjoyed the second half of the book much more than the first, but still. Meh. I was overall mostly reading it to finish it by the end.
