The book holds up surprisingly well given the fact that it is nearly 60 years old. While the movies help bring the imagery and visualization of the books to life, the novel carries the subtlety, inner motivations, time, history, and layered political intrigue that are all interplaying together to guide the actions of the characters. The growth in Paul from start to finish was incredible. 💖
