“I am afraid. Not of life, or death, or nothingness, but of wasting it as if I had never been.”

Another classic I'm late to the game in reading, but I'm glad I finally did. I honestly had no clue as to what it was about other than the fact that it had something to do with a mouse, which, while it does have *something* to do with a mouse, that is decidedly not what this book is about.

My only real complaint about it is that it was a bit long and drawn out for me. Most of the contents of the last hundred pages (until the ending, of course) were boring and did little to add to the novel. The rest, though, was super interesting! I really enjoyed the exploration of human nature carried within this book, even if some of it was dated. Much of it is timeless and the questions it raises are ones that are still commonly discussed today.
