I loved this book, but it took me a while to finish reading it. Job is in the way of my reading! Anyway, I had to put myself in the frame of mind of the period it was written in, just so I don't get too frustrated about some aspects of the book. Overall, an enjoyable, although long, read.
This book started off slow for me, but about half way through it got interesting. I didn't think I'd end up giving it 4 stars. I could have done without the animal violence, but I'll look past that one. Overall, it was a nice book that read fairly quickly.
