There are moments of brilliance where I truly understand how novel this book was in its time.
However, the majority of the time I was either bored or repulsed by the racist and paedophilic passing comments by the narrator.
I understand it’s a product of its time and should be treated as such, but it was truly a slog to get through at times.
And if he loved Dean so much, they should have just kissed.
