Only 20% in and I can already say that anyone who does not believe that the United States is hanging by a thread right now should read this book.

One of the more intense novels I have read in a long time.

Re-read for the hundredth time in order to teach the novel—still fascinating.

Giving this a 4th read.
I read it once in high school, once in college, once in preparation to teach it, and now to make comparisons with The Testaments and the Hulu series. It never fails to engage me.

I was assigned to read this for a grad class, so here I am. I taught The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven for years, but I just can’t condone or recommend Sherman Alexis’s work after the recent allegations of his predatorily motivated sexual harassment charges. Such a disappointment.
