I'm disappointed that I couldn't get into this book. 
 It was partly because it was rushed, and partly because of the 19th century writing. It's not the first time I've read a book from this era, but I'll definitely admit I was out of touch. As much as I enjoy the language, it makes the book more of an effort to read at times, and I just could not picture any of the scenes in my mind. There was also very little characterization, which is not my kind of thing. 
 A classic, maybe, but not for me.
