I felt so bad for Tess the whole time I was reading this. This classic was very well written, and a very sad read. I had to kinda push through the middle of it (it really slowed down after the very beginning), but the ending was a breeze.
I greatly disliked Angel. His unwillingness to forgive the fact that Tess had been raped, and how he shunned her because of it, was just so unfair. And don't get me started on Alec. He was creepy and manipulative and horrible.
