I was completely caught up in this saga of a sorry ship and its haughty, pretty much unlikable main character.It's unusual to somehow care about a person who for most of the story is an unsympathetic snob, yet one who makes the reader root for his redemption. Would it ever happen? The book is long, but fascinating.I guess it helped to have seen the TV version (a totally accurate rendition of the book) as I had visual images of all the characters.
