bucket 's review for:

Sophie's Choice by William Styron
4.0

The characters are pretty outrageous here - Stingo is the only believable one. He's as pretentious as any other early-20s know-it-all I ever knew in college. That said, I was still sucked into the plot, and enjoyed that this was more than a Holocaust story. The novel dives deeply into the psychological and social aftermath for Sophie, and that's what gives this book its edge.
