The Painted Veil

I must say that I found the book extremely interesting. But I can't lie and say that I even liked Kitty Fane, although in the end I felt a kind of sadness for her and pity mostly. On the other hand I felt myself connecting with Walter Fane and somehow adoring him for different reasons, for example, his intelligence and self control. Although through out the whole story I felt like there was a reason why he was so closed and I always felt the desire to know more about him and know what made him tick.
I must say that I loved the writing style and technique of W. Somerset Maugham. I actually felt like I was being treated like an intelligent reader and making me use my brain, which I find rare with most authors.
I am dying to see the movie and watch another's interpretation of this magnificent piece of art.
