Notes:
- Takes a little bit to get used to the dialects but it clicked pretty smoothly after a few chapters and then was quite easy to read.
- A fun adventurous classic with some very important (and varied!) themes simmering in the background that are explored with just the right amount of salience.
- The story itself doesn't necessarily attract me as other classics do, however the reading experience of this novel is worth its five stars. Plus the point above is just so true that even if my memory of the book isn't going to be five stars, I just can't rate it any lower than that.
