I think that this is one of the most interesting books I’ve read in a long time, but I also did not give it five stars because the ending was not my favorite I guess. The characters are all so clear to me (no I have not seen the movie so I have no reference in that sense) and while a lot of the language is outdated and offensive from time to time, it was a well written book for sure.
