I have to read it too. At first it's really hard to get into, but once you get past the first couple of sections, it'll get better.

I don't think they are called Cliff's Notes anymore, but they have something similar that will help you understand. Read each chapter and then read the notes (whatever they are called now) and it will explain what you just read. Sometimes you have to go back and read the chapter again. Of course, most people didn't bother with the actual book, but if you do it the right way, you will really understand the book you are reading. They helped me understand Shakespeare and develop a real appreciation for his work.

I don't think I have ever read the book but I have seen the play twice. It is great!!

I have to read this book for my english honors class & i was wondering what everyone thinks of the book,& if anyone had any hints or clues to understanding/comprehending the novel easier & also better.Because I just can't get into it.I'm not sure if it's the writing style or if I just dont understand the story because it's more complex than I'm used to. So any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. =)
