2 thumbs seems harsh but it's for me. I can't give it a fair rating. It is an extremely difficult book for me to read. Doesn't flow well and has a vocabulary well beyond my capacity. I keep getting pulled out to grab my dictionary and try to look up obscure and dated references. Not for the casual reader. However, it has some amazing lines and seems to be an interesting story if you can keep with it.
