That shit slapped so hard. Zelda did so good with this one. The last page is some of the most beautiful writing I’ve ever read.

Loved. Another classic worth reading. Also will now watch the film and sip a margarita in a pearl necklace.

I found the topics slightly boring and couldn't identify with any of the characters. Would not read it again but worth reading the once.

Buddy read with Cash as he read for school.  Great classic, not at all what I expected.

A classic that has taken me a long time to get around to reading but I really enjoyed it. For its age, it reads very modern. I really enjoyed the writing style that is descriptive but can be very poetic in parts. I see why it has stood the test of time and has received such acclaim.
