Thomas Wolfe really had a way of capturing the chaotic beauty of the human experience. This book is wild, and takes you on so many emotional ups and downs. I laughed, I teared up. It was an immense book, and deep. Sometimes, with work and everything I had to put it down for a few weeks at a time. But then when I picked it up again I would inhale 100-150 pages in a sitting, just couldn't put it down as Wolfe carried me along with his beautiful prose. The ending was unbelievable. Having a bit of a hard time getting back into reading the next thing after the experience of this book. Just read it.
