Tho I gave this 4stars when I was assigned to read it in school, I think that was because is was better compared to all the other classics that I was assigned.
Now, rereading it, I can't help but be disappointed by how long and dry it is. There's a fantastic story in here, but it gets buried by so many boring passages. I think my nostalgic love for it is more fueled by the movies than the actual book.
