I want to give this a go, but I really hate romance novels so it needs to have something more than that. Does it?

I'm genuinely asking here. There must be something I'm missing, or this book wouldn't have become the classic it is and getting all those votes here.
It was only chosen because it's free and old. It has nothing whatsoever to do with actually being enjoyable to read. In fact, some of the worst books ever are considered (incorrectly) to be classics.
