4.5

Part of me wanted to rate 5 stars but I was annoyed by the endless discussion of religion and the fact we don’t find out what happened to Sebastian. Also quite snobbish with no real morals. I much prefer the first half of the book (Oxford) to the second. Very easy to read for a classic though, although I wonder how much of that is helped by having watched the adaptation.
