A moving story, very well told.
However I did find myself becoming less engaged with the story during the last few chapters. I think that's because I knew there wasn't much left of the book and I was skeptical about whether the story would manage to have a satisfying conclusion. And although it did enjoy the whole of the story, I do feel like the ending could have been fleshed out a bit more.
One particularly satisfying part of the book for me was the formating/chapter lengths. I feel like the chapter lengths worked well and really added something extra to the overall reading experience.
