I would not want to read this book for multiple reasons.
1.) I cannot even find a summery of the story that I am able to understand, hence why I don't have one.
2.) It is way too old. The words he uses are words I've never heard of and it is way too hard.
3.) I am not interested in books from before I was born, 99% of the time.
4.) I would rather read stories that make sense to me from the start instead of trying to understand this one and wasting my time whilst doing it.
