My no spoiler review - youtu.be/WRMHRwqiCQg



I wouldn't have picked up on the themes of this book if I hadn't taken the college course where I read this book for the first time. The themes of this book have been covered in many places, so none of my commentary is original. This video is far from perfect, but I hope to continue to make discussion videos like this one. Please let me know what you think of this book in the comments.
