That being said it is actually a pretty good book I was afraid I'd find it boring as it's not the usual kind of book I read
Of course the book is old so some subject matters are quite dated in the aslyum and whatnot
But for what it's worth it's pretty good
Personally I have a few iffy feelings on the asylum parts so it's not a full 5 star read but it was really close

Edit: 3 months later and I've updated this to a solid 5 stars, because it was just that good at bringing you inside Esther's mind. I actually find myself thinking of it often
