3.5 but more heavy on the 3. Its written beautifully, but if I wanted to watch about some weird semi-gay relationship forming while women are dying and throwing themselves at the men…..ill watch a medium to bad anime. Thanks :)

3.5

3.5*
I’m glad I’ve gotten another book off my 24 in 24 list, and while I liked the book, I think maybe classics aren’t necessarily for me. I’m not very settled in my thoughts but I do know that I didn’t end up taking in the more “flowery” parts (mostly Henry’s views and opinions, although I think I liked Henry so I’m quite unsure) so maybe I didn’t get the full experience. I was listening to it and reading along on my kindle and I must admit that I almost fell asleep when it was only 3pm
