I have never had to stop reading a book because I had so many tears in my eyes that I physically could not read the page. While some people say that it could be shorter, I think that is what makes the story that much more powerful. You truly go on a journey of these characters entire life and the cruelty along with it. This book will stick with me for a very long time. Truly a masterpiece.
