lion_nes's review against another edition

Beautifully written but I'm not in the right mood for it and gotta give it back to the library. Will read someday.

One of the best books I have ever read and a new favourite. Will definitely read again, which I don’t do often. 
Very beautifully written, very unique and captivating. Cruel, beautiful and touching. An absolute masterpiece.
