There are so many things I could say about this book, but I’m tired and need to go to bed. What I will say, is that if the message of this book seems to be about men needing violence, I’d recommend reading the book again with a critical eye.

I’ve seen the movie, so I already knew the twist. I didn’t like the book at first, but then it shifted, and it all clicked into place. I didn’t want to like it after that, but I couldn’t really help myself. Once it clicked, I feel like I have to like it
