Read this book if you're willing to read about characters with very questionable morality. Read this book if you are willing to tolerate 1960s views on race, gender equality, and whatever things that may be offensive to modern 21st century readers. Read this book if you want to try being on the other side of the fence. Read this book if you can handle more of the above.(less)
