This is an awesome book. must read all book readers. it have romance, adventure, scary situation, etc. You might be confused through out it since it IS an older book. There are a lot of words that are not apart of todays typical language, but I absolutely loved it when I first read it. Of course there were a lot of words I didnt know, and I often found myself at a lost, but I do believe that was because I was young when I first read it. Around fifteen or fourteen. Its a great classic though and I do recommend it.
