After about thirteen years I decided to give this a reread and realized I did forget a lot of it. It took longer to read due to the parallels between the state of the world and it’s themes. I kept having to put it down for a few days. Most of the book is a simple read with only the last third becoming emotionally more difficult.

It’s a disheartening book but I think it’s something people should read regardless, at least once.

Thanks for reading!
