This is the best book I have read in a long time. I found the beginning intriguing, but it really began to resonate and leave an impression on me for the middle and (most of) the end.

The story has an overwhelmingly positive and important message, although it is delivered in a somewhat dark and pessimistic way. Delivering it any other way would probably be overpowering, or sickening.

I'll be recommending this book to everyone I know.
