Plot
This book was so intense, it took a LONG time for me to get through. The message was so powerful and at times incredibly hard to read. The last ~70 pages picked up and were fast-paced, but the beginning is very slow, and I think it could have been much shorter overall. Definitely a modern classic and one that everyone should read, but it's not a quick or "entertaining" read.
