  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated

5.0

I will admit that I did enjoy the book more this time around than the first time that I read it back in high school. There were many things that I actually did not remember and other things that I did not quite catch the first time around. This reread has helped me seeing everything with a new found perspective and I am mesmerised with how beautifully written this actually is.

Everything within those pages was written for a reason with a purpose and the whole of it provides a cruel and true depiction of the society of the time and the human condition.
