This took me 16 days to finish definitely the longest time I've spent on a book by far. I've been wanting to read this for a long time and I'm glad I've picked up a physical copy up from the library because geez was it a struggle to get through. A very rewarding one but still took a lot of patience, which I usually don't posses. I'm very happy and proud I've finished it but doubt I got the whole picture but still a good classic.

"By far my most slowest reading experience since I've started learning how to read. It might be translated to Swedish and probebly updated for modern readers but this is quite the challenging read. Although I'm enjoying this a lot. One of the most intresting read and so fun to slowly but surely get the story"

Good for you for sticking it out considering the - already difficult to understand text - translation obstacles.

I'm definitely not evolved enough, either intellectually or language-wise to understand this to its core, but I hope that I can get a nice rewarding experience too!

I wasn't that either but still found it rewarding:)
Well done. Not an easy book to read, I should imagine.
