The symbolism is insane.

This book definitely has a deeper meaning within it. I read it for my English class and we analyzed a lot of the content. We observed each character's development throughout the story. This analysis helped make the book more understandable to me personally. This book was really good and makes a person think more about society.

Took a star off because it felt like it was written in a rough style. The characters and the location were not very fleshed out.
I think it would have made a bigger impact if I was reading it as a teen. I can see how this would be a very eye-opening read about human character and what we do with no one is watching.
