Pretty good. I can see why it is beloved. Toward the end though, I started to lose interest and just wanted to be done. Still definitely recommend.

i have so many feelings about this book. just...wow. i went into this book not liking the whole epistolary style, especially because of not liking it with frankenstein. but the raw, powerful emotions along with realistic characters and an interesting plot helped me overcome that initial feeling. i recommend this to everyone. you won't regret it.

I admired the chronological scope of this book. Most things I read seem to take place over a short period of time, but this one spanned an entire lifetime with elegancy and grace.
