This was just wow. I put it off for a few years because of the 'classic' label I was worried it wouldn't hold up well with time or it wouldn't be as comprehensively readable. But wow! I was so pleasantly surprised that it was and it did. I had to make myself take this book in spurts because of how much it is. It holds a scary amount of truth that pretty much all still is relevant today if not more so. I'll tell ya, I was not expecting to cry over a darn horse, but alas, here I am. There are no proper words to describe the experience this book is unless you've read it yourself. The first time read, the putting it all together, figuring it out - it's next level. I was wanting to yell, scream, cry, fight and everything else in between. This book also reminded me just how crucial community can be to our survival, I never quite thought about it like that before I read this. If I could read it again for the first time right now all over again I would;  that's an experience everyone should have at least once in their lifetime.

One of those books I never read in high school- an interesting story to display the dangers of power and blindly following those who wield it.

It really makes you deep how privileged much society hasn’t really changed and that there is always someone in control.
