I had much difficulty getting through it my first time around. There was alot to wrap my brain around and at a younger age that I just stopped picking it up halfway through! Much later I came back and had a better appreciation for literature in general and a more nuanced understanding of the abstract themes and subtext; it quickly became my favorite series and this my favorite of the books.
