I think this was a solid book. Considering it is a classic, it was very easy to read. I didn’t really love the story, I think because there are morally grey character and I don’t think I like them that much. All the characters were kind of flat too. That being said, the themes were really good, but they were sometimes hard to find. I don’t think I got all that I could since it took me so long to read, but I would still recommend it to mostly everyone.
