A real page-turner, and as heart-warming and heart-wrenching as it is gruesome and terrible. 

The ending made me so sad, just so much about the death of everyone you grew to really know in the story was both sombering and also a reality check of what it's like to get older. It's what I thought was the perfect finish to this story, getting a real sense of what it felt like to walk everyone's inevitable personal mile.
