I had been sure to give this book 4 out of 5 stars and after some final chapters :) they punched at my heart and changed my mind significantly :(
I had been so reluctant to start reading this because i took this book for a true sci-fi and fantasy book. After started reading it, i realized this is just all about simple and cozy story :) and it was worth every freaking time reading it :)

This is in my top 10 favorite books of all time and I reread it at least a couple times a year.

Is it an unproblematic literary masterpiece? No. Does it make me smile and cry and seethe in anger and think about the nature of humanity? Yes.

So i decided to give Stephenie Meyer a second chance after the Twilight Saga and picked up this book...WOW! Absolutely enthralling book, i couldn't put it down! A little confusing in the beginning in my opinion, but after page 50 or so i fell in love. I mean, you gotta have one of those sappy love stories to read every once in a while right?! :)
