Honestly hard to put into words how amazingly written this book is to me. It made me feel like complete shit, it was amazing. I would be eager to return to this over the years. One of the greatest character studies of all time only made more genius by how the protagonist acts as a metaphor for America and his actions and attitudes a pure unfiltered reflection of our culture. Absolutely love this book.
