I read this book probably 25 years ago, and didn't remember a thing. It's aged remarkably well, and has a lot of really, really good moments. There's a lot of slow buildup to the incredibly quick finale, so the pacing didn't really grab me, but I totally understand the reasoning behind it.

A classic that holds up well. Still super engaging. Trigger warning - some N words, and lots will require context for younger readers.
