They are people who will make you think and feel. You will both like and detest each of them. They are people you will find compassion for. What I will say is this: the characters are deep, complex, real, and flawed. I have no great insights into the Bible and am wholly incapable of doing more than mention to that aspect of the book.

I won't be talking about the Cain & Abel theme. Or, perhaps, I was simply an idiot who denied herself a deliciously beautiful story! There are many wonderful reviews of this book that will talk about the symbolism and allegory found here. Perhaps I thought it wouldn't stand the test of time.

Perhaps I thought it would be too difficult to enjoy. Perhaps I thought this classic would be dull and boring. I do not know why I have never read this book.
