Read this with the family as a read-aloud. Very good book! Descriptive, full characterization. In several places, was emotionally connected with the characters. Intense near the end, we couldn't put it down even though it was past the kids bed-time. (Tried not to say very descriptive, very emotional and very intense, but so wanted to!) Enjoy!
