Henry put this on my nightstand (I love that my kids do this with books they like). I love this book! There are things I suspect I wouldn’t like about the author in real life but if I’m just sticking to the story on this one.

Really enjoyed this story, it was engaging and interesting. The pacing felt good (I watched the movie after reading the book, that felt very rushed), and I enjoyed the way it ended.

I've read it a couple of times before, but I never stop marveling at how good it is on every level.
