Even though this novel was a little too "read for highschool" and had too many characters to keep straight, the writing was sharp and effective, and the storytelling was quite touching.
This historical treatise has a lot of notoriety but I found it unnecessarily dense, and ultimately flawed, in that its focus on states and state power ignores a related discussion of capitalist power, such that altho there is a useful perspective to glean here about how a drive for social legibility can transform a society, I wouldn't recommend the book overall.
