"Think" even!

Oh, thank god. I studied it at school. And again at university. Nearly killed me. I was the only person in both my school class and university tutorial group who didn't thing it was brilliant, moving, fabulous etc etc etc.

Frankly, stop reading it now. It's just the most boring and pointless and forced book ever. I will never understand why it's considered such a classic.

I got an A for higher english which included an essay on it.

Quite liked it.

There is a film!

Had to give up. Tedious.
