Sophie's Choice by William Styron
1.0

Would not recommend.

Extremely difficult to follow. Story Sophie is telling is not in order, the book itself is chunkily written, and every single character is unlikable— I did not like one of them.

This novel was rumored to be heartbreaking due to the choice Sophie has to make in regards to her making it out of WWII alive but this is barely dwelled upon at all!! It’s at most a page or two. There’s more time spent on the billions of pornographic scenes going on.
