I went into this not knowing the plot, just that it was popular. I was easily roped into this world that questioned morality and what is means to be a good person in connection to vanity. Though there are mentions of the n word and claiming objects from communities as your own, it fed into the greed the book was highlighting. The ending is thought provoking. Leaves everything needed to be said, said.
