It was “gritty” in the grand tradition of unsentimental books about British teenagers having a bad time. Readers will love it as much for the outlandish ideas as for the narrative complexity and sense of fun. His two big novels War and Peace and Anna Karenina are both pretty much always in the top 3 of any “best books ever written” list.
