4.5

I enjoyed the first part and the ending, but the middle part was a bit boring - there wasn’t as much happening as before. Loved the characters tho. This book was very philosophical and awakened many emotions from happiness to sadness and everything in between.There was strong character development and many quotes eg the great perhaps. Overall I would say that this book had a great message and a fun and sad plot but the second part could contain more plot ( for like 50 pages it was just “I woke up late because I was sad and I smoke a lot and I only hang out with the colonel) and there was this nice approach to
the death of a person that you loved and how to cope with it

There was tons of getting drunk and smoking cigarettes too.
