Explanation of Rating: I gave the book 3 stars, while the book is very interesting and mysterious there are times where the book can get boring. Also the language is kind of hard to understand because it was written in the 1920's. Other then that the book was great, it kept me interested enough to keep reading. The ending was really good it really sums up the story and explains everything.
