3.0

If you are coming into this book expecting it to be like the musical, you will be upset and probably a little bit horrified. The musical merely uses the same character and place names as this book, almost everything else is different. If you read this book and view it as its own work, separate from the musical, you’ll have a better time.

Anyway, I think this book has interesting themes- what is evil? Animal rights, the use of religion, political violence, the existence of a soul, etc.- butttt that it came across as a little scattered. Furthermore, the pacing felt slow and tedious.
