That book is awesome only when it’s taught well. When I read it in class my teacher and the discussions were awesome, and now it’s one of my favorite books. I could see how it would be boring if you didn’t have that, though - it’s so dense that our normal 40-50 page homework load/night was dropped to about 6 pages/night when we were reading that book. All that’s to say: try to work through it. Go slowly, use Sparknotes if you must. I think it’s pretty useful on the exam - it actually fit perfectly with the AP Lit open-ended exam question today.
