I finally finished AS Byatt's Possession. A great novel, overall - I felt some parts were drawn out a little too long, but the ending was excellent. Not too suprising, just enough of a twist to make you happy without ruining a great story.

I think I enjoyed this book for simple escapism. It has a few slightly pomo passages, but it concentrates on telling a story with interesting characters and setting, a plot that moves the reader through using stages with rewards, and an ending that can't help but please the reader who has come to care about the protagonists. It left me feeling good.
