This is one that I've putting off for, oh, say 25 years. But, like the proverbial tortoise, I finally can cross this particular finish line, and honestly think I could've gone another 25 years without it. That said, it was an okay read. Just underwhelming.

I'd probably have given this 3-stars if it hadn't been for everything I've heard about this classic. There were no major problems (sure, the whole made up words for no particular reason littered throughout bugged me), but there wasn't anything that wowed me either. Just an okay book.
