Excellent, heart-wrenching read!

5 stars

I really liked the book. It took me a bit to get used to the formatting, but once engrossed in the story (which took maybe 10% to get there), I was hooked with the characters and involved in the story. Though I had this on my bookshelf, I read this without knowing anything about the book. I likely will not re-read this book, but it is definitely one I would recommend.
