Done! Finally!! Glad I read it, proud I finished it, but I didn’t really like it. The first half was booooring. It picked up in the second half, but by then, I didn’t care because I just wanted it to end. Yes, it was a ‘tale’ but I felt like not a lot happened. It was a stagnant tale for me. The subject matter was booooring for me too. Now, reverse things and put men in a position of subjugation, and I’d find that more fascinating. Not going to spend a lot of thought on the discussion, since it was not super thought provoking for me.
