Merlí will make you laugh, cry, feel every emotion that we humans can embody. But above all it will make you think. Teach you to question everything you are made to believe. Don't let the 9 fool you. It's given only because of what Merlí said. There's always scope for improvement. Every character is splendidly interwoven into one masterpiece of a story with philosophy ebbing throughout the series. You'll never get bored. I'll conclude with the opening of Merli's class intro, "I want you to get ha** with philosphy"
