I hated the first half of the book. Not because it was bad, but because I had a very strong hatred for the main character.
The second half of the book helped me see the the humanness in the person I felt was monstrous in the beginning.
I am pretty sure I had every feeling while reading this book. It is worth the read, even though I doubted that during the first half.
