I wish I could give books multiple ratings. I know I'll catch flak for this but I found the story to be just two stars.

I'm sure an english major could point out all the meaning and symbolism that I missed but I read primarily for enjoyment, not analysis. I ended up rating the book based on what I enjoyed
