3.5

This is my second time reading this, but the last time was when I was in 7th grade after I read Hunger Games and was looking to chase the high. Reading it now, it feels like a self help or nonfiction book the way it’s so chock full of information I want to remember for future conversations. It’s incredibly quotable and full of lush prose to ruminate on, but very sparse with plot. Though it may be a bit heavy handed in its messages, it achieves what it sets out to do. A quick and easy read with a lot to say; a perfect early dip into classic lit.
