This is one of the best books I've ever read, possibly the best. It was written in such an interesting way, with incomplete sentences and seemingly disconnected paragraphs, but that only added to the story's beauty. It just made it have a unique feel and added to the tension and calm when needed. The story was heartbreaking and creative. It was painful and scary at times, and had a heavy feeling to it. The father and son made for very understandable characters. I couldn't recommend this book highly enough! It is a modern classic and a nearly-perfect novel.
