5.0

This is one of my favorite novels, one I've read at least 4 times.
The questions posed in the story of morality, right and wrong, justice, and duty are left for the reader to think about. What makes a monster and what makes a man? What is the cost of vengeance?
Some classics deserve to be timeless and this is one of them.
