Very enjoyable. Unique, lyrical, full of history, sounds, and smells. It almost felt like I was walking down streets of the 17th century Paris. Very evocative. The things that happened in this book were pretty f**ked up. That ending. Shakes head. I will read this again one day. It's the kind of book that you can read over and over again, and each time, learn something new or find new meaning.
So that ending was horrifying and so satisfying. This whole book was so brilliantly written and constructed. Every word and every page was an absolute treat to read. I have always loved the film adaptation but my lord, this book blew my mind. I found myself re-reading certain chapters just because they were so beautifully and uniquely written. Jean-Baptiste is easily one of my favorite characters I have ever read about and this book was glorious. One of the best books I have ever read and I cannot recommend it enough.

Odd but encapsulating. The writing is so good that you continue reading just to read how the author describes things as opposed to the story itself. Loved it!
