This was a re-read for me to hopefully get me out of my slump. I adore this movie and its movie adaptation. I don’t think I can really give a true review since I know the story so well at this point, and I love it. I think the book is inventive and challenging. You’re not supposed to like the characters or events. I think that fact trips up a lot of people, and they start to deconstruct the book and theorize about it being something else. It is what it is, and what transpires isn’t warm and fuzzy. Love it! 
Not sure what I’m going to read next, but I hope I read something.
