A masterpiece in every sense of the word. It takes a lot to think about a genius concept such as this, and it takes even more to execute it in such a moving manner. One of best classics I have ever read, would genuinely recommend everyone who hasn't read it yet to give it a try. This is a type of book which can change your entire view of life, and leave you sobbing uncontrollably in the process.
