…showed last 75 words of 1299 total…is a different kind of author and is somewhat hard to understand. I have heard that his other books have similar characters and historical meanings. If there was another novel that I would consider better it would have to be A Lesson Before Dying. I haven't read a lot of novels but A Lesson Before Dying was definitely one of the best books I have read due to the plot and overall just excellent writing.
