I have yet to find many classics that I actually enjoy. This book continue that trend. There's just something about it that did not peak my interest and left me muddling through. On the positive side, even though there is an abundance of characters the narrative is enjoyable, understandable and relatable. Additionally, I appreciated the set of satire embedded in the characters' names. This was a light, easy read that while enjoyable was nothing more.
