5.0

It’s a realistic depiction of life. He gets to experience things and live but Stoner is unremarkable and the everyday person. It’s seen how we miss out on things and settle for mediocrity out of inability, or even fear, to be more. Dispute his inadequacies, Stoner never once stops to question how his life is or if he could change it, he just keeps on going. Brilliant book.
