Amazing book! This is my second read; I thought it would be good to reread it when I saw the new movie (which, by the way, was a fantastically done adaptation). I really love the symbolism and Snow’s gradual moral decline down a path you can somewhat predict from the beginning. Snow’s thoughts reveal more than anything and it’s fascinating from a psychological standpoint to see the way he rationalizes himself and his worldview. Just very well written.
