Brilliant, mesmerizing and terrifying. This was, for me, the ultimate "couldn't put it down" book.

When the author talked about "cold" and "dark" I found myself imagining the world with no sun to warm it, with no lights, moon or stars to brighten it....it would, indeed be a cold, dark place. The only warmth in this story was the shared love between a father and son.

I'm glad I read this one!
