5.0

Wow, just wow. I fell in love with this book, so beautiful, so charming...
An intriguing account of human desire and morality, but other than that simply an enjoyable read. Oscar's wit and talent in writing makes this a really pleasant read, at times a bit serious but he sure makes up for it. Well written characters and an engaging plot, wholly a five star book.
Read this book, either for revelation or for fun, just read it. It has become a new favorite of mine.
