I never really wanted to read this-probably because it is so depressing-, but I decided that I had to read it at least once. And I actually enjoyed it. I found it easy to read, compared to most classics. It was a bit slow moving and used very long descriptions, but the book was much more intellictual then any movie I have seen based on it. If you analisysed it and read it on a completely unemotional level, it was an excellant book with many interesting motifs and strong conflicts. It simply tells a story of an intelligent young man who destroyed his life by becoming selfish and cruel. I highly recommend it.
