While this original book behind the wildly popular musical and film adaptation is narratively less cohesive with many scattered and underdeveloped plot points, it does make for more expansive universe building and exploration into the grittier themes of a person's core nature and destiny, good versus evil and how mass ignorance breeds the tyranny of social institutions, philosophically engaging me immensely in this creative reimagination of a beloved classic. I will definitely read more of this author's other works.
