    This book is not for the faint of heart, I'm normally not a fan of drama not to say they aren't good I just prefer to keep what I read in the mystery or lighthearted realm but this book is a classic and must read for any bookworm. It's an excellent book but I only mark books with LOVE it! if I were for sure to read them again, I wouldn't reread this book by choice.
