While I found this book enjoyable, it didn't captivate me. I love classics, especially those that captivate me from the first word to the last because even if there's so much description I almost forget the plot, I still want to read on because I'm lost in the book. Sadly, as much as I wanted to love it, this one didn't. During parts of the novel, I had my attention held, but this novel lost it as soon as the descriptions started when the plot started getting slightly slower.
