4.5

I like this book, but it was really slow and probably would not read again since it became so daunting to read. I really did fell in love with the character, but I am just really torn about this story. I feel like I would have just read from 0-400 if I knew what was going to happen (plus Death just spoiled the story and did not make the ending so interesting I guess. I think Death's perspective was interesting but not as perplexed as I thought it would/should've been even if he does this all the time. When I think back upon what I read from this book, I just end up very confused about what I was reading.
