This book had my attention from the very sentence and never let it go. Although I read it slowly I loved how much time I got to spend in this world and with these characters. It is, if not THE best, one of the best books I have ever read. The main character has a voice that is so compelling, it's hard to not just pause in awe every couple of paragraphs at the truths so beautifully written on every page. Somehow the book manages to have so much heart and humour despite all the tragic things that happen. To me it is a 6 out of 5, and it will stay with me forever.
