If you’ve not read the book and you think you know the story, you don’t. There’s never been an entirely accurate adaptation. A deeply felt and deeply charged story about xenophobia, fear of the future, and both of their deadly intersection with politics.

I want to start by saying that I didn't choose to read the book, I had to because of school, so my review is probably bit biased. Anyways, the book is very slow paced, with way too much description. (I had to skip like entire chapter which was purely descripting Paris.) The characters aren't very likeable and other than that I had to, I had no motivation to finish the book.
It wasn't the worst I read, it's not a bad book, just not a book for me.
