How I did it: I picked the book up off my shelf where it had been languishing for some time, and sat down to read like mad whenever I had spare time.
It was a lot less difficult of a read than I had been expecting, what with the slightly archaic language, and I was pleased to find that I could read and understand it quite easily.
There are some very comical scenes in the book, and I often read little pieces which particularly amused me aloud to my mother if she was nearby.

Lessons & tips: Having seen both the BBC and Hollywood versions of the movie, I was
easily able to understand what was going on the novel. I'm not certain
I would have understand everything had I not seen the movies, but I
could be wrong! So, I'd say watching the movies sometime before or after reading the book would be helpful.
