This book was pretty good but it made me bored though out the beginning, but when the investigation took place I became very invested. Love the writing style definitely a cool classic to read, chapters were a bit long but not too bad.

shame i didn't finish this reread sooner; it would've worked quite well for this year's ap lit q3. my two biggest takeaways are the dangers of becoming stuck in the past and what happens when we ascribe excessive importance to certain symbols. if that makes sense, i guess.

Fantastic prose and a powerfully incisive look at the futility of luxurious, worldly living. The characters are very vicious, which makes it pretty depressing
