The Enchanted by Rene Denfeld

4.0

---

This book is complex in regards to what it challenges the reader to think about. It is not simply why the death penalty is good/bad, why the prison system is good/bad, why people who have done truly horrible things are good/bad. The whole book is about nuance. It's confusing and jumbled and incomprehensible. I think there is actually a lot to take away from the book. The writing itself is done really well. I found each story arc engaging as well as purposeful and telling. This was a true example literary of commentary, and I found that so refreshing and something that is not truly effectuated as often or as well as it should be.
