I would like to read that book. My daughter just finished it and told me
there were scenes in it I would not approve of (I am very prudish). But
it finally got her interested in politics, which is what the book is
about. It is about how Socialism takes over and she could see it. She
read it because of a scholarship that is being offered with an essay on
the book. But in the end I think it did her some good. (Do you know how
frustrating it is to be heavy into politics and have children who don't
care? ggggrrrrr!)

She did tell me the same thing you did about the first few hundred
pages - it was hard for her to get through that part and she reads like
the wind.
