I had to read this for class and I enjoyed it. It's an interesting read and an excellent analysis of the human psyche and how we react to situations. However, It's not something I typically like so I can't rate it any higher than 2 stars. I hate things that are open-ended, and dark and sadly that's exactly what this book is. If you're looking for a thought-provoking book go for it but don't expect it to answer any questions you have.
