1/2 - 4 stars. This is a very short book, more of a novella, that is considered a classic. I read it decades ago and when it came up as a reference in a book I recently read, I decided to reread it. It is a very fast read. It seems to…

Decent novel. Lots of symbolism and deeper meaning in the text. Explores themes of the American dream, loneliness, and friendship. Read too much like a play to me and while it was an interesting story, I got bored.
