Exquisitely beautiful. A masterpiece I feel honored to have had the opportunity to read. It touches the soul. It's the most beautiful book I've ever read.

A lovely co-adaptation, though now I feel like I need to rewatch the film. The novel is a little too neat in connecting side characters' crossed paths, but it takes us along Strickland's journey to the heart of his darkness in the Amazon seeking Deus Branquia.

Didn't love it, didn't hate it. Didn't like it, didn't dislike it. Too much gore for me personally.
