I remembered enjoying this in high school, but now I simply will never stop thinking about how much I love this story. My brain won't let it go, it's like I'm gnawing on a bone. It's about the loneliness of every kind of ostracization, it's about spurning God, it's about not learning your lesson even after facing every consequence, it's about hating your dad, it's about nature versus nurture, it's about being human yet inhuman. I can't wait to reread and do full annotations.

A classic famous for the creation of the sci-fi genre. It uses strong religious imagery to paint a picture of humanity and what distinguishes humans from "daemons" and higher powers. Seamlessly blends science, philosophy, and creationism. Although the gruesome deeds and persons lack greater detail, the light description allows the imagination to fill in the horrific blanks.

This book is disturbing but it was so good and brings up questions about what constitutes humanity and the soul.
