those 1276 pages were worth every single second i spent reading it them!!! the intricacy of this masterpiece will never fail to amaze me and i could talk about it for hours : the way every character was painted with the most beautiful brush strokes, the depth of each of them making them seem oh so real, the amazing underlying work that must have been put in to simply not forget one plot or the other, and my Gods, the witiness of it all, the sarcasm, the irony of it all constrasting with the beautiful and almost daunting soliloquies and dialogues. as soon as you hit the last page, there is nothing that you want more than experiencing it again
