This was definitely a hard book to read. I spent so much time with it, because there were times that I couldn't read it, it's so difficult to go through with this book because it's painful most of the time to read it. I'm not really sure if I liked it, but at least I'm sure I didn't hate it.
Well, I really enjoyed the fact that it shows a relationship between men, and how they deal with their emotions and frustrations in life, there's nothing mystical about it, the book simply portraits the things that goes through one's head. But the main story we get the hold of is the one of Jude, and this is were the reading gets complicated, because Jude has to deal with a traumatic past, and all that's happened to him is thoroughly described and not only does he suffer as a child, but he suffers as an adult, even though he is rich and well accomplished. It was a hard one.
