The Sorrows of Young Werther

I'm surprised that I liked the flowery language of this book as I usually get very bogged down in those. It does match the main character's passionate tendencies and is well written / translated that it read very smoothly. In contrast, Dickens (okay not the greatest comparison but bear with me) was super laborious to read. Also surprising is that I don't feel very empathetic or sympathetic to Werther.
