*Read for class.

1.5/5

I didn't like it. First of all, the story was boring on its own. Secondly, narration of the audiobook was old and horrible. I had nothing in this story I enjoyed, yet it wasn't horrible itself, so I'm giving it 1.5 stars and moving on.

Yet again, I encounter a book labeled as a classic that I have no idea how it managed to gain that label. The narrative is incredibly hard, almost impossible to follow. It weaves in and out of coherency leaving definition far in the rear view mirror. I was also unsure of who the narrator actually was. I thought it was Jim but it obviously was not. That may have been my fault for not reading the book a little slower. I will admit that I started to skim a bit more towards the end because I had had enough of it.
I do not recommend this book.
