This was just waaaaay too long. Also the slurs used was just not it. Also the racism. There was a chapter were the N word was said like every other word. Also don’t even get me started on the sewer scene disgusting. I felt like a lot of this was pointless. Honestly watch the new movies because they were really good.

Why still rate the book so high? Because the prose is THAT good. The way this story is told is pure distilled nostalgia, it captures the feeling of being that age so perfectly and so beautifully that I devoured all 1,4k pages even though things were getting progressively more insane, not in a good way, and even though there were some scenes that would have definitely made me put the book down in almost any other case.
