As you can see below, this was a hard one to review. Mostly because, while it had a point, it was an exceptional story. Rare is the book that can both deliver the entire plot in the first page and then place a riveting hold on your attention throughout.
A lot of people have and will continue to write about the terrible condemnation of the moneyed elite this book is. And it is. But they are probably being over-serious. Why ruin a great book with a small moral?
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Exceptional work of literary fiction. In 20 years I'll read the Sparrow.
