Goncharov's (somewhat long) account of how love sneaks into the hearts of two innocents recreates the almost embarrassingly true-to-memory course of youthful infatuation.
But anyone will admire how Goncharov brings the subsidiary characters to vivid life, especially Oblomov's sullen but fanatically loyal servant Zakhar, his bovine landlady Agafy Matveyevna (whose elbows fascinate her tenant) and his supposed friend, the shameless scoundrel Tarantyev.
Written with sympathetic humor and compassion, this masterful portrait of upper-class decline made Ivan Goncharov famous throughout Russia on its publication in 1859.

There are also obvious social differences between contemporary society and Czarist Russia which create impediments to our understanding and appreciation for the institution of serfdom which Goncharov, we are assured, criticizes.
If nothing else, it was sometimes amusing to observe rather quaint 19th Century courtship rituals :) As for the characters, none of them create a strong feeling of commonality or identity with me, yet Goncharov subtly reveals facets of us through the characters from time to time (as ANY procrastinator is bound to discover).
Goncharov wants to show us exactly and in great detail all of the intricacies of the progression of the characters' thoughts and realizations, but often this causes the novel to drag.
