This might be one of my favorite (if not my favorite) books of all time. I read this book 8 years ago. I gave it 4 stars then but since have realized it's 100% a 5 star read.
I decided to re-read it because I realized it's the book I've read that I've thought about the most after reading it.
It's so long, and there are a good 200 pages that are slow. Not boring or uninteresting, just slow. But this book is thought provoking, entertaining, complex, and just downright good. The characters are so deep yet relatable, the storyline is a bit outrageous yet somehow so normal and readable, and the love story is beautiful.
I can understand it's not for everyone, there are some incredibly violent scenes, and it's heavy in its historical facts, but this book will make you laugh, cry, happy, sad, and mad. It's beautiful, and you should read it.
