Personally, I would have NEVER EVER chosen this book just because I tend to judge by book covers and because it is a really old book. I had to read this book in English and I found that I was confused most of the time. Yes, the vocabulary was confusing for the younger generation. I didn't exactly know most of the details because of the vocabulary but i understood the main plot. However, the movie helped me understand more of the book even though they had many differences. Overall, I thought that this plot line was interesting but I didn't fully enjoy the book.
