"Unvarnished"! That's me! :) I ...Hah! "Unvarnished"! That's me! :) I suppose there are others for whom this was a great read, and I always hope each author finds a receptive audience, but her writing style for this one did not resonate with me very well at all. However, I did appreciate the themes depicted. I believe this is one that we all should read, as are so many classics, but that doesn't always mean we enjoy them, does it? Perhaps you're reading of this will be much more enjoyable for you than it was for me...you never know! I'm rather dreading the 900+ pages of Stein to which I have commited for spin #9! :) I love the Classics Club spins for that reason--makes me tackle something I probably would not otherwise have read! Thanks for stopping by and good luck with your spin reads.

I have it on my classics club list, and I am not looking forward to reading it at all.
