Somewhere among the many suggestions for the last challenge, this title kept coming up. I therefore decided to use it for this challenge as I haven't read it, and obviously, quite a few people had!

Well. Along with Brave New World, this is one of those books that leave a lasting impression, but which isn't really that good to read. It wasn't until the last 30 pages or so I actually felt invested in it and wanted to find out what would happen. I think I see so much of male violence in everyday society that reading a book about it felt too much. It's the stuff I normally try and shield myself from (why wallow in reading about it when real life seems to be so much more worse), so it was a hard read. I can see why so many people recommend this book, I can see why it has gained status as a classic, but it is not because it's a pleasure to read.
