Reading for School

as part of an English project I had to read this book and found it interesting in a way. the book we read in class was terrible and we had to compare it to this. I enjoyed this book and am glad to have read it. I got lost in some parts but was able to figure it out. the story was not my favorite but the way it was written was beautiful.

Sure, it's a work of genius. But I didn't have a good time.
