I had a hard time getting into this book. I had to accustom myself to the writing style and the characters. But then all of the sudden I was hooked and couldn’t put this down. Benny, his mom, the Aleph they all felt so real and raw. This book was really emotional and makes you think so much. This was really beautiful. This is a strong 5 stars read.
