Helpful Score: 2


This is a great book. It's not the most uplifting of tales but it is written beautifully, and so life like one has to wonder if it really is fiction. And the characters are so thoroughly flushed out, it's just an amazing, fast read and I do believe it provides a commentary oh life and the way people handle it. It's an adventure for sure.
