a commentary on the upper classes and their inability or unwant to share their wealth, wether that be of lifestyle, intelligence or money, and a warning to the lower classes that we should want for nothing as the grass isnt always greener on the other side.
i did expect this to be a lot more about greek mythology than a thriller but i liked it nonetheless. definitely got my brain thinking

Back in my tumblr days this book was Super Popular and I refused to read it because it was too long, even though the dark academia theme really appealed me. This was a WILD ride, I was HOOKED. The pacing and writing is amazing, you think you guess what is going to happen but you are WRONG. I am so glad I finally read this and I wish there will be a good on screen adaptation one day because it really deserves it.

Nope. Can't do it. I DNF at a little over half way through. I tried to give this book a chance but the more I read the more I got frustrated. If the book was more straight to the point instead of adding so much detail that didn't matter I think it would have held my interest all the way through. But it was so tedious to read. Cut out about 250 pages of this book and it would have been better.

This is one of the most popular books ever and is referred to as a modern classic which I can definitely attest to. I really enjoyed it. I do think it's overhyped but there is good reason for it to be popular, its done really well and the plot was fantastic. These kids are so pretentious its crazy. I thought it was really good. Particularly the dark academia and the expression of things like weather and the change in seasons. As per my favourite quote in the entire book: "The sun was low, burning gold through the trees, casting our shadows before us on the ground, long and distorted. We walked for a long time without saying anything. The air was musty with far-off bonfires, sharp with the edge of a twilight chill. There was no noise but the crunch of our shoes on the gravel path, the whistle of the wind in the pines, I was sleepy and my head hurt."
