My love of the Netflix adaptation brought me here.
If you want to explore the best of the themes and ideas explored in the novel without the baggage of slow pacing, head straight to the netflix adaptation.
There were some parts in the book that so beautifully spoke about loneliness and a longing for connection having to do with the time - that landed as a modern reader.
And others that fell so flat or were cringe worthy. Which included jarring antisemitism, racism, and misogyny.
Am I glad I read it? Yes
Will I again? No
